Children’s Day: Guaranteeing Better Future For Our Children Non-Negotiable, Oyebamiji’s Wife Urges Parents

…Implores Parents To Elect Visionary Leader

The wife of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Dr. Sekinah Bola-Oyebamiji, has urged parents and guardians to make decisions that will secure a prosperous future for the younger generation.

She called on the parents and guardians in the state to elect a leader that will invest in the future of their children as the state approaches election period.

Speaking with journalists on the occasion of the 2026 Children’s Day celebration, in Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of Osun State, Dr. Bola-Oyebamiji described Children’s Day as a moment of joy and gratitude to God for the blessing of children.

Dr. Bola-Oyebamiji encouraged parents to make leadership choices that would guarantee a brighter future for children, especially in the area of education, capacity building and development.

She advised children to remain obedient to their parents, stay focused on their studies and avoid social vices.

According to her, “It is a day of joy to thank God for the blessing of having wonderful children across the globe. The Eid-el-Kabir celebration also reflects the spirit of utmost sacrifice, as seen in the story of a parent who was commanded to sacrifice his only son and was willing to obey before Allah replaced sorrow with joy.

“Today, I wish all our wonderful children in Osun State a happy celebration and a happy Children’s Day. I pray that you all grow to become responsible citizens of the state and achieve your aspirations in life.

“I also want to use this opportunity to encourage parents that this is the time to make choices that will lead to a prosperous future for our children. When it is time to vote, we should vote with the future of our children in mind. We should support someone who will invest in the education of our children and someone who is prepared and structured to lead Osun State to greater prosperity.

“Children should obey their parents because they are the ones who truly love you the most. If they encourage you to focus on your studies, it is because they want you to have a bright future. Do not join bad gangs and do not use drugs because they can only destroy lives,” She admonished.
