Dr Inyang Asibong, Commissioner for Health who represented the governor at the event said the gesture was a special Easter gift to the mother of the twins.

Ayade had noted that in the spirit of the Easter season, `the beautiful babies deserve love and care’ , and that it was further influenced by the love and care that the government of the state had for children..

He added that the gesture was also in line with his welfare policy and love for children.

Consequently, the twins were named after him and his wife, Ben and Linda Ayade.

“Right now, the mother of the twins is not with us because we had to refer her to a higher facility for further medical attention. But she had a successful Caesarean Section.

“We have these two beautiful babies here with us. We will be following them up regularly and today we are here to present a special gift for their upkeep.

“The governor has executive powers, we are going to work with our social welfare unit to try and see the extent of the crime and know if the mother can be pardoned because of these two beautiful children,’’ he said.
