Christians first ladies, where una dey oo? Really missing in action here! The muslim first ladies are stepping up to the clarion call.
Previously, we brought you news of the Niger state first lady who opted to work in the State General Hospital as a way of service to her community. Also Mrs Aisha Buhari, wife of the President of Nigeria has on several occasions donated to bomb blast victims and other groups. And now from Kebbi state...
Wife of the Kebbi Governor, Dr. Zainab Atiku, on Saturday, August 1, 2015, donated drugs and food stuff to People Living Positive and drug addicts in Zuru emirate of Kebbi state. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that donation was presented in Zuru to Sani HIV/AIDS Trust Fund, a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) established by the Emir of Zuru, Alhaji Sani Gomo II.
Dr Atiku told the Emir that the donation was to reduce hardship faced by the victims, make them have a sense of belonging, as well as erase the pain of stigma. She pledged to sustain her support to the victims and other under privileged members of the society, calling on other privileged persons to do same.
In his remarks, the Emir of Zuru, Alhaji Sani Gomo II, commended the donor and called on other members of the public to emulate her by providing employment, material and financial support to the victims.
I also commend on more first ladies to use their position to care for the women an children ...as many as that are within your reach. For whatsover you did to the least of my brothers, have you done also unto me.
