74-year-old woman gifts Soludo live fowl at second-term inauguration

A 74-year-old woman, Madam Grace Okafor, on Tuesday brought a live fowl as a gift to the inauguration ceremony of Governor Chukwuma Soludo in Awka.

Okafor said the gesture was in appreciation of a N100,000 cash gift she had earlier received from the governor.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ceremony, held at Alex Ekwueme Square, attracted dignitaries and residents from across the state.

The elderly woman, who arrived at the venue in a wheelchair, danced toward the podium while holding the fowl in a bucket, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Okafor, a native of Abatete in Idemili North Local Government Area, said she received the N100,000 support from the governor during an event in Eziowelle community, which she invested in poultry farming.

“I came to witness the swearing-in of Gov. Soludo, ‘Oluatuegwu,’ because he gave me N100,000 during an event in my community in Eziowelle.

“I invested the money in poultry, and this fowl is part of the proceeds. I am here to show my appreciation to him,” she said.

A touching moment in Anambra today.

Soludo will most likely become the first igbo democratic president. I know it hurts igbos but it is true. That is a man who has worked his way. Not Mr opportunist.
