Adebule advised the run-away husband to come forward and take up the
responsibility of taking care of his family, admonishing him to be
appreciative of the divine blessings that have come his way through the
children.
Mrs. Uche was hosted at the deputy governor’s office following the
directive of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode that the woman and her children
be rehabilitated and assisted by all relevant government agencies to
ensure they are in good condition.
Speaking at her office, the deputy governor sympathized with Mrs Uche
over the traumatic experience of trying to raise six children following
the disappearance of her husband. She assured her that the government
will ensure the children’s well-being.
She thanked the woman for coming forward to seek help instead of abandoning the children.
“As a woman and a mother, I can only imagine what you have gone
through managing six children, it must have been energy sapping and
depressing, but I salute your courage and I want to assure you that this
government will not abandon you, we will stand by you and ensure that
you are assisted to get back to a normal life,” Adebule said.
The Deputy Governor added that the governor had approved the release
of some amount of money, which will be paid into an account and part of
it used to attend to some of the immediate needs of the children and
their mother, adding that officials from the Ministry of Women Affairs
and Poverty Alleviation have been directed to provide the necessary
logistics support to her.
Mrs. Uche expressed appreciation to the government for supporting
her, noting that the love shown to her and her children could only have
come from a government that truly cares about the well being of its
people.
