AWKA - The Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Her Excellency,
Chief (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano has tasked women to sustain family values
through their actions and prayers and also ensure there is no communication gap
between them and their husbands in other to fulfill their role as mothers in
society.
Mrs. Obiano made the plea over the weekend while addressing
the 2015 Women Convention at the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry Uke, Idemili
North, Local Government Area. The wife of the governor told the participants that
sustaining family values also rests on the ability to hold the household
together with love and prayers, instilling fear of God in the children and
helping people in need in other to attract blessings from God.
According to
Mrs. Obiano;
“Today I may be the wife of the governor but it is important to let you know that we started small. Sometimes the family income may put undue pressure on the husband and wife and that is when a woman must persevere in prayers.”
Sharing personal experiences, Mrs. Obiano stated:
“Many years ago I asked God with hope and prayers to give me my husband and not a husband. My husband’s income was not enough, but I started selling thyme and curry to augment what my husband is making. Eventually I got work with NNPC which I did for nineteen years, and my husband also got job in the bank. We were then able to buy second hand car and following my husband’s promotion as manager, he got a car. I also ensured that my job gave me time to play my role as mother. I can tell you that as long as you do what is right that pleases God, you will be blessed.”
Mrs. Obiano recalled that she had visited the Adoration
ground on two previous occasions with her husband and expressed worry over the
consistent loss of family values and its negative impact on society.
