Anambra State Governor’s wife, Nonye Soludo, has explained that the gift of fatherhood is one that should be worn with pride and celebrated by everyone who has the privilege to share in the blessing.
Mrs. Soludo, who stated this in her message to celebrate fathers on the occasion of Catholic feast of Fathers’ Sunday, noted that fatherhood is privileged vocation, and as such should be carried out with dedication and exceptionalism.
