“We are entering a glorious year and those who believe that it is going to be glorious will enjoy it,’’ she said.
The first lady, during the party, told the children a bible story and advised parents to also imbibe the habit of teaching their wards good morals for them to become great adults.
“Parents are supposed to tell the children Christmas stories, that is what we all grow up with, for this year’s Christmas, we have decided to change the trajectory of what Christmas represents in the State House.
“For us in this dispensation, I think we have to adopt a home per year, next year, another orphanage home would come so that the children can have a sense of well-being and also to give them a sense of belonging.
“They are all Nigerians, as you can see, they all have dreams like every one of us, bringing them here is for them to know that nothing is impossible, they too can become the person whom God will put in place of power like this.’’
She advised parents to also start training their children in the ways of the Lord because children learn very quickly; one of the things that has given me drive while growing up even from a humble beginning is what I have seen.
“This year’s Christmas celebration is also to remind them about the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, and how the love of Christ has made him lay down his life for mankind.
“Also, that is what we have to do as a nation, to continue to make the necessary sacrifice for a lot of people to benefit, it is not about us but for the generation that is coming after us.
“We have to give them a good foundation because we believe that their lives will be better than ours.’’
