Wife of Kwara State Governor, Olufolake Abdulrazaq, has offered to assist Risikat Azeez, a woman who was abandoned by her husband over her blue eyes and that of her daughters.
MDB reported about Azeez who narrated how her husband abandoned her when she gave birth to two kids with the same set of blue eyeballs as hers.
The mother of two in an interview with ThePunch said;
I was born with these eyes and I also gave birth to my children with same pair of eyes. Since I was born, I have never had any challenge with my eyes. I have never been to the hospital due to any discomfort. I thank God. No one had this set of eyes before me in my family; both from my mother and father’s side. I’m the first to have this kind of eyes. And when I started bearing children, they also have it and I did not regret that I have this set of eyes with my children.
The blue-eyed mom added;
As a young girl, I was later taken to the hospital for medical examination and came back home with lots of gifts because the doctors liked my eyes. They also said there was nothing wrong with it.
The story about the family went viral across various social platforms, which drew the attention of Kwara state governor’s wife, Olufolake Abdulrazaq, who then expressed willingness to help Azeez and her kids.
Abdulrazaq commented via Twitter that she has been in touch with the mother of two through her foundation, the Ajike People Support Centre.
The First Lady of Kwara State has been in touch with the family through the @Ajike_Centre. We’re also doing everything to support Mrs. Risikat and her children and possibly unite the wife and the children with her husband.

The Chief Press Secretary to the governor’s wife, Adeniyi Adeyinka, also confirmed the development.
Adeyinka said;
Azeez has been gotten across to by the Director of Protocol to her Excellency, Hassan Raphael. She has been invited and when eventually she appears here, talks generally will bother on what she will like to do going forward, empowering her and afterwards mediate on how she will possibly be reunited with her husband – that is possibly.
But in the interim, she has been invited and she will be asked what she will like to do to fend for her children and herself. Her Excellency will also talk to her about how to enroll the children in school after school lockdown is over. Resettling her is part of the plan too.
Also, the Director Of Protocol (DOP) to the governor’s wife, Raphael, said;
Her Excellency picked interest in the woman and the girls. She said she will like to see them. May be on Monday. She has also contacted the Commissioner for Education to enroll the children in school. There are some other things she plans to do for the woman but I cannot say precisely.
