Over 200 widows in attendance at the Okitipupa local government Secretariat on Thursday, for the distribution of palliatives under the Ondowidows’care initiative of the wife of Ondo State Governor, received the food packages, regardless of the registration timing.
The widows who comported themselves in a matured manner to receive the package, commended the initiative, saying it was evident that the current administration had in mind the vulnerable segment of the society.
A middle-aged beneficiary, Mrs. Morenike Ajile said the initiative gave widows a sense of belonging under the Akeredolu-led administration, describing it as a goodwill gesture towards them.
Also Mrs. Veronica Afolakemi prayed that God will not forget the initiator in time of need. “I see this as a good thing, and I pray the person behind it will not become sudden widow,” she added.
Mrs Rachael Iji on her part, prayed fervently for the initiator and coordinators of the programme, saying the items given would go a long way to sustain her.
Another beneficiary, Mrs Moyin Atikoro appreciated Arabinrin Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu for her concern towards the better living of widows in the state.
Mrs Morenikeji Emmanuel, described the gesture as a promise fulfilled, she said, she never believed it would come to reality but thanked God for being a beneficiary. She however, prayed for the First Lady, and her household.
Commenting on the Okitipupa exercise, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Gender, Research and Documentation, Mrs. Temitope Daniyan described it as a mission-fulfilled, saying she was happy that all widows in attendance smiled home.
Earlier in his remarks, the Local Government Caretaker Chairman, Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya expressed gratitude to the wife of the governor for helping in reducing hunger in his local government area, considering the number of beneficiaries.
