In a bid to address societal decay, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has urged the church to take a leading role in upholding core family values.
His remarks came during the opening of the third session of the 16th Synod of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Egba Diocese, held at Onikolobo, Abeokuta.
Represented by the Head of Service, Mr Kehinde Onasanya, Governor Abiodun attributed many societal challenges to poor parenting, emphasizing the crucial role of godly upbringing in fostering stability and justice.
Expressing concern over the prevalence of poor parenting, he called for a concerted effort to instill divine guidance and responsibility among parents in building healthier homes.
“Analysis of political sociologists indicates that the family is the smallest political unit in any setting, and concluded that political mobilisation starts with the family as the determinant of peace and stability in any nation. Unfortunately, our society is facing this serious challenge regarding the management of poor parenting as a result of a lackadaisical disposition and the absence of divine guidance on the part of parents in the course of building a home.
“All hands must be on deck to redeem the society through the church in aspiration
of building a better society where peace and justice reign,” the Governor said.
