Wife of Edo Dep Gov comes to aid of abandoned triplets

The wife of the Edo State Deputy Governor, Mrs Maryann Shaibu, was a sad woman, weekend, as she visited the woman abandoned by her husband after giving birth to triplets in Benin, the state capital.
The condition under which the triplets were moved the Deputy Governor’s wife to order that they be moved immediately to a paediatric centre for proper medical care.
Mrs Shaibu also donated an undisclosed amount of money in cash along with some baby care items, milk and food stuff, with a promise to assist the mother of the kids to establish her business as a hair stylist.
The distressed mother was forced to cry out for assistance when the cost of taking care of the home and five children became unbearable.
Mrs Shaibu assured the nursing mother of more assistance to ensure that the babies are well taken care of, adding “I am doing this because children are blessings from God. So we will not allow them to die of malnutrition.“I want the father of these lovely gifts from God to come back home and show love, warmth and care for his family. The God who gave him these children will surely provide for him to take care of them.”
Responding, Mrs. Ndukwe thanked the Deputy Governor’s wife for coming to her rescue, noting that her timely intervention has prevented what would have been a disaster to her family, especially the triplets.
She said she decided to cry to government since her husband, Matthew Ndukwe, who hails from Enugu State, abandoned her and the children when they needed him most.
It will be recalled that Mr. Ndukwe fled home when news got to him that his wife had given birth to triplets, in addition to the set of twins they already have.
