Vice President Yemi Osinbajo says it is not the ability to father a child that makes one a father, but the courage to raise one.
Osinbajo spoke with State House correspondents after celebrating 2019 Fathers’ Day at the Aso Villa Chapel, Abuja. He urged men to love and honour women, adding that woman are not subordinate to men but created equal to them.
The Vice President attended the service with his mother, Olubisi Osinbajo, Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha among others.
Osinbajo said that the responsibility of the father was incredible; adding that it was important to teach young men growing up that they must honour all women and not just their wives.
On his part, Omo-Agege, who earlier took the first Reading of the service from Malachi chapter one, verse three to six, urged fathers to be exemplary.Mustapha said that Fathers’ Day was not about the celebration but a reminder of the role men had to play in their families as physical and spiritual heads.
