Be Diligent In Training Children, Mrs Wike Tells Mothers

Wife of the Rivers State
Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike has called on mothers to persevere as they work towards diligently grooming future leaders.
Speaking after visiting Christmas babies last Tuesday at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Justice Nyesom-Wike said that mothers have the onerous responsibility of working  for the unity and stability of families.
The two Christmas babies visited by Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike are Baby Emmanuel Emeshe who was delivered by 12. 05am and Baby Ibia Goodness delivered by 12.20pm.
She said: “I will say to all mothers that we should always persevere in looking after our  families because God has put a lot in our hands.
“I want to say that it is the woman that holds the family and keeps it together.  We have a lot  to  do with raising our children”.
She urged mothers to ensure that they raise God-fearing children for the good of the society.
“Women must not fail. We must do everything  possible to make sure that we raise our children in a way that will be pleasing to God”, she said.
The Rivers Governor’s Wife noted that while men also have roles to play in the grooming of children, women as caregivers have greater responsibility.
She said that she visited the Christmas babies in line with the established traditions of reaching out to mothers during Christmas and New Year.
She said: “As it is the practice of the good people of Rivers State, every wife of the governor goes to visit the Christmas  and the New Year babies. It is the tradition that we are in touch with them and to appreciate God for the blessing of New babies into the state.
“It is just to welcome the child and to encourage the parents in every little way  that we can and to let them know that we have them in our hearts. We want to make them know that we will do all that is necessary  to make them comfortable, especially at this time”.
