Lawan Sponsors Marriage Of 100 Less-Privileged Spinsters by Amotolongbo(f): 6:45pm On Aug 08, 2020


The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, on Saturday in Gashua, Bade Local Government Area, sponsored the wedding of 100 less-privileged spinsters.

The beneficiaries were drawn from Bade and Jakusko Local Government areas.

Lawan, represented by the Speaker, Yobe House of Assembly, Alhaji Ahmed Mirwa, said the gesture was in aid of parents who could not shoulder the financial burden involved.

He said the exercise would also discourage social vices such as rape, child abuse, and child abandonment, among others.

The senate president promised that 200 other spinsters would benefit from similar exercise in the remaining four local government areas of his constituency, Yobe North Senatorial District.

The other four local government areas are Yunusari, Yusufari, Geidam, and Bursari.

In his remarks, the Emir of Bade, Alhaji Abubakar Suleiman, thanked Lawan for the gesture, saying it would assist the most vulnerable members of the society.

He appealed to the couples to live in peace with one another and always try to resolve their matrimonial challenges amicably.

Coordinator of the exercise, Alhaji Muhammad Gagiyo, said in addition to the gesture, the senate president also promised to train the grooms on various skills to enable them to take care of their families.

According to him, the first batch of the exercise involved Bade and Jakusko Local Government areas, and the next batch would include the remaining four Local Government areas of the zone.

He further explained that 50 beneficiaries were selected from each of the six local government areas of the senatorial district.

your mind is full of negativity!! Wish them well or shut the hell up!!

And who told you the government didn't empower them?? Is it because you didn't see the empowerment program on Nairaland??

Northern leaders are more connected to their people than your southern politicians.

Instead of allowing widows to be engaging in prostitution and even engaging in social vices its Better to empower and marry them off...

Marriage to produce more almajiris
to brainwash & supply continuous stream
of religious fanatics.

People who do not have the resources
to marry should not be burdened with
producing children they can't cater for.

Smh. Only in abokki-land. Sponsor their marriage but not their livelihood. Because Na you go feed and sponsor the education of all the animalistic almajiri future Islamic terrorists wey the damned couples go born full everywhere.

Fat-faced idiot calling himself Senate President. The kind of fools we have in leadership positions in Nigeria is a reflection of how messed up and unsalvageable the country is. Spits.
