He went further to emphasis that this gesture is not politically motivated holding that even after the election, the organization will continually support widows and the less privilege in the society, as he was raised and breed by a widow. He held that “all women here are my mothers and sisters while the orphans are my brothers and sisters”.
“It is high time every well many Nigerians supports the widows while still doing their best to give maximum support to the presidential candidacy of Atiku Abubakar who we believe can govern this country better and bring succor to every Nigerian, especially our widows, orphans and other less privilege” he stated.
