Worried by the increasing moral decadence among the youths leading to the get rich quick syndrome, the wife of the Anambra State governor, Mrs. Nonye Soludo has tasked mothers to prioritize the moral upbringing of their children.
Mrs. Soludo, who was addressing women of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, at their meeting in Awka, lamented that some mothers do not question the source of wealth of their children these days.
"I don’t know how a 16 -year old child should be spraying money at functions and we, mothers don’t want to question how he made the money. This is a child who is supposed to still be in school.
Mothers should not be seeking advice in the social media because most of the things there are fake. So we have a big challenge.
We should start laying the good foundation and instilling good morals in our children. Whatever we are doing in life, our priority should be the proper upbringing of our children because if we fail in doing that, we would be jeopardizing the future of our country.Mothers, therefore, have big responsibility as it concerns the issue of children upbringing.
If our families are good, our communities and our state will be good and it will extend to Nigeria. And a good family benefits mothers more because the children are closer to us", she said.
Mrs. Soludo also spoke on the forthcoming governorship election in the state, urging the women to ensure that APGA retains the state.
She added: "Anambra is APGA and APGA is Anambra. The party is doing well in our state and I know you all appreciate the APGA government.
Women are the leading instrument for political battle because without women, wining election might be difficult. I want all of us to be united to be able to face the battle ahead.
You know that' our governor does not joke with women, which is why he introduced the free antenatal and delivery to alleviate the burden of nursing mothers.
We are in election year and it is necessary that we return APGA for Prof. Soludo to continue the good work he is doing for our people."
