The women leader of the All Progressive Congress(APC), in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Hailmary Aipoh, has joined other well-meaning Nigerians to call on women and the youths to shun all vices as the elections draw near.
Aipoh who stressed the need for women and the youth to be at the forefront of promoting peace, noted that women play important role in nation building as they are bedrocks of the society. She pointed out that they groom the children in the society and as such can help shape the minds of the youths.
"Women play important role in nation building. We are the bedrocks of the society. We are also good managers and that is how God created us. As good teachers and mentors to our children, we enforce discipline and teach the children moral values, and as such a time like this, we are reminded, once again, to draw them near and continue in that light, to ensure a stable and peaceful society", she said.
The women leader further urged the youths to humble and dedicate themselves to hardwork and remain contented with what they have. According to her, that is the only way the youths can take their destinies in their own hands.
Aipoh, noted that upbringing can be seen to reflect on the larger society, and as such, only good moral values can build a strong foundation and impact positively on the society. NNL.
