Says the Church has an integral role to play

The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , Senator Oluremi Tinubu,CON has charged religious leaders especially the women to instill discipline, love and the fear of God in their children and other followers.

The First Lady made the remarks during a visit to her office at the State House, Abuja by the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) led by its National Chairperson, Mrs Victoria Ihesiulor.

According to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Christianity is a religion of love, meekness and tolerance that need to be extended towards everyone regardless of their faith, race, ethnicity and social background.
