This was made known in an exclusive statement signed by the BYF’s Leader and Secretary, Anthony Banigo and Omoni Sylvanus, respectively, and made available to Kristina Reports.

The attempt, officially tagged “Holiveah Artistry Paint-a-thon”, is not only a personal milestone for Lawson but a cultural movement with deep roots in promoting Bonny Kingdom tourism and heritage.

The event, taking place at the historic Bonny Consulate, has been described as a symbolic fusion of creativity, cultural pride, and resilience.







From the themes explored in Lawson’s artwork to the carefully chosen location, the entire initiative reflects a conscious effort to elevate Bonny’s visibility on a global stage.
“It is also worth noting that the entire event, tagged Holiveah Artistry Paint-a-thon, is a refreshing and innovative effort toward promoting Bonny Kingdom tourism.”
The Federation further called on all Bonny youths and cultural groups to rally around Lawson, offering both physical and virtual support.
“She needs all the encouragement and mental energy we can offer at this crucial time,” the statement emphasized.
The Bonny Youth Federation ended their message with a strong vote of confidence and prayerful wishes for Lawson’s success.
“We wholeheartedly support Olivia’s attempt to set a new world record, and we believe, by God’s grace and power, she will succeed in this noble pursuit. May God bless Olivia Lawson for this inspiring feat.”
