Her message also urged women whom she described as “perpetual peace promoters” to remind their children and wards of the importance of the virtues of tolerance and peaceful co-existence, as well as the demonstration of respect and humility to all.
She further noted that although Christmas is a time of joy, merriment and the exchange of gifts among family and friends; we must not forget to spare a thought for orphans and the less privileged in our society. The First Lady emphasized that this is a season for women to become prayer amazons by dedicating prayers to their families and the nation, as well as Nigeria’s leaders so that the Almighty can continually imbue them with the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job so that peace and unity in our nation is assured.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6
