A former Minister of State for Works and an aspirant in the 2016 governorship election in Edo State, Engineer Chris Ogiemwonyi, has identified preventive health care delivery as a key welfare programme of any good government.
Ogiemwonyi made the assertion when he presented a cheque for N250,000 to a mother of triplets in Benin City, Edo State.
Ogiemwonyi, who was at a private medical centre and maternity in Benin City to identify with the male triplets, remarked that judging by the current economic challenge in the country, it is difficult for an average home to live averagely, let alone one with triplets.
This, he said, informed his decision to identify with the family.
According to him, preventive health dare delivery system is one of his key focus and
therefore charged Nigerians, especially the affluent ones, irrespective of political affiliation, to assist in the upbringing of the new babies.
He disclosed that health care delivery, as a key welfare programme of the All Progressives Congress, was the motivating factor for his visit to the medical centre for the purpose of identifying and celebrating with the family of the triplets.
He prayed God to grant the triplets exceeding grace in life such that they would become successful in their various endeavour when they grow up.
Mother of the triplets, Grace Joshua, while appreciating Ogiemwonyi for the philanthropy, described the gesture as a surprise and therefore prayed God to continue to grant him his heart desires.
