She said: “We must continue to show charity because that is the only way that we can show that we are God’s Children and that we do love .
“Please go out there, visit a home and get your family attached to it . So that as the year goes on, you have a relationship with the children in the homes. By that way, you are grooming your children to be charitable.
“That way, we will be training our children to be better leaders tomorrow. “
She implored the people of the state to continue to pray for their leaders, so that the transformation taking place can be sustained.
Justice Nyesom-Wike also advised Rivers people to be supportive of the Wike administration and be law abiding at all times.
