“It is imperative to express gratitude to God and I wish you all a happy Christmas and a happy new year in advance”, she told the children, who could not hide their excitement.
“We were taught to be God-fearing and obedient as children and we are passing this on to our children who are here. I pray that we will all enjoy our children and they will all grow up to become great children in future in Jesus name, ” she said.
Earlier some of the children have commended Erelu Fayemi for hosting them, describing her as a mother-figure and role model for every Ekiti child.
