The wife of Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Nyesom Wike, yesterday, received the 2019 Rivers Christmas baby at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital .
Justice Wike, who was accompanied by permanent secretaries and wives of top government functionaries, received the 4kg baby, born at 8:10am on Christmas morning, to the Uchenna Amadi family.
The governor’s wife noted that at the beginning of 2019, she received a girl, and now she is receiving a boy, which, according to her, represents gender parity as promoted by Wike.
She said: “We are delighted to have this handsome boy. Earlier in the year, we received a girl and today, we are receiving a boy; this is gender parity as the governor preaches.
‘’We have decided to name this boy Nyesom after the governor.
“He will be a good boy. He will be a blessing to his family. As a result of his appearance in this family, many great things will happen to the family.”
“We will keep in touch and monitor his progress as he grows. His Excellency loves children,” she added.
