In a significant gathering at the Diocese of Lagos West, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Christian mothers celebrated motherhood alongside their husbands and children. The event focused on the critical theme of nurturing a godly future generation, with key figures emphasizing the essential role of parents in fostering moral values.
Call for Parental Responsibility
Aderonke Kolawole, wife of the Dean of the Cathedral, delivered a powerful address on the decline of moral values in society.

Kolawole urged parents to actively monitor their children and teach them to know the Lord, stressing that this responsibility is fundamental to reversing societal moral decay. Her message resonated with attendees, highlighting the need for renewed commitment to family values.
First Lady's Tribute to Mothers
Simultaneously, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu issued a heartfelt Mother's Day message, praising mothers across Nigeria for their sacrifices, love, and unwavering dedication. She described mothers as the unsung heroes of society, whose quiet acts of care and devotion form the bedrock of strong families and communities. Tinubu emphasized that mothers' efforts are crucial in shaping the nation's future, acknowledging their multifaceted contributions beyond the home.
APC's Recognition and Commitment
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) also joined in the celebrations, releasing a statement through its spokesperson, Mogaji Seye Oladejo. The party lauded mothers for their pivotal roles in family life, community development, and nation-building. The APC reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive development, supporting policies and initiatives aimed at empowering women, improving family welfare, and expanding opportunities for mothers to thrive. They noted that mothers' influence extends into governance, enterprise, education, and social development, underscoring their central importance in societal progress.
Overall, these messages from Tinubu, Christian mothers, and the APC converge on a common theme: the urgent need for parents to prioritize raising godly children to ensure a morally sound and prosperous future for Nigeria.
