Senator Rochas Okorocha has appealed to Nigerian women to weep no more due to the present conditions created in the average Nigerian home as a result of the poor state of the economy.
The Imo west Senator said this in Abuja when he played host to the Women For Buhari-Osinbajo Support Group who paid him a courtesy visit at the Unity House on Friday.
The group was led by Ambassador Fatima Adams who brought along with her executives of the group.
A very delighted Okorocha said “Nigerian women cry no more, weep no more, God will do that which makes Him God, pray for the nation pray for our children”.
“Our country is going through a difficult period and rather than finding solutions we are beating the drums of division and war”.
“Our leaders are making statements that can ignite crisis and all for political interests, but truly we have not demonstrated that we care for the less privileged and poor in our society.”
“So the time is now, for us to make a rethink on how we can help this nation, that is why we have offered ourselves as a people and group I want to urge everybody to come together”.
“Nigeria is a country blessed by God, but what Nigeria is lacking is vision and ideas.”
“Women have always been at the receiving end, when the economy is bad the women bear the brunt, because an angry husband is horrible at home, in many families when the man of the house is coming back the heart of the woman and the children skips, they are running under the bed, so a father that is supposed to bring joy brings sadness, that is the situation we have found ourselves”.
“It leaves the women wondering “what offence have I committed’, well women let me say to you that you have not done anything wrong, the poverty situation has created a hostile environment in your homes.”
Speaking earlier, the leader of the Women for Buhari and Osinbajo Support Group, Amb. Fatima Adams commended the selfless sacrifices made by Senator Okorocha for the poor children and widows in the society.
She said “Your generous contributions to orphans and indigent children scholarship fund, to say that we are touched by your sincere devotion to their cause does not sufficiently express our gratitude”.
“You have provided the means for thousands of mothers to have their children finish their degrees.”
“We are grateful for all you have done and pledge our best of loyalty and support, please accept our warmest and heartfelt thanks.”
“Thank you for your generous gift to the less privileged, needy; NGO’s and other civil society programs Ambassador Adams at the meeting also informed Owelle Okorocha about the challenges the group is presently facing and got their hosts assurances that demands for the easy movement of the group during their advocacy tours will be met immediately.
