Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN and his wife, Dame Emmanuella Abimbola Fashola on Tuesday hosted the 2014 Lagos State Annual Children’s Party with the Governor urging the children to continue to work hard in their studies and obey their parents.
The Governor who spoke during the party which was held at the Open field of the Lagos House, Ikeja added that by studying hard, the students can achieve all the desired greatness in life.
He added that the children should learn to be safe during the holiday periods by refraining from talking to strangers or collecting items from them in addition to ensuring that they report such strange faces to their parents.
He said the children should also be appreciative of the efforts of the teachers who have been instrumental to the successes they have recorded in their academic pursuits and should also do the same to their parents whose taxes has ensured the sustenance of the children’s party.
“It is because of those taxes that your Daddy and Mummy pay that has ensured that you can also go to School. So when you grow up and become Mummy and Daddy, are you going to pay your own taxes too?”, he sought to know.
He prayed that next year everyone would be alive to witness another children’s party celebration but that by then, he would no more be the Governor of the State just as his wife would no longer be the First Lady of Lagos State.
“You are going to have a new Governor and a new First Lady. They are going to be better than what you have now. So you are going to tell Mummy and Daddy to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the elections. This party would continue next year and many more years to come”, he stressed.
The Governor later cut the Children’s Party cake alongside his wife and some of the children before taking to the dancing floor with the children during the event which featured various games, musical performances and competitions.
Prominent among those who witnessed the event were the members of the Council of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) and children from all around the state.
