Pro-Jonathan group flays attempt to hijack empowerment programme

AWKA—A GROUP, 4J, has raised alarm over what it described as attempts by some people to hijack the success of a recent empowerment programme it held for for widows in Anambra State.

The group in a statement by its National Coordinator, Dr. Emeka Eze, said 4J is a Non Governmental Organisation founded by Prince Arthur Eze, to assuage the burden of widows.

The statement reads: ‘’We wish to bring to note that some mischief makers are trying to tap into the success of the Women for Change/4J widows empowerment project, by laying claims of involvement. We are cautious on wrong claims so that the project is not smeared or tarnished by persons who do not bear the same philanthropic ideologies as we do.

“4J is an NGO founded by Prince Arthur Eze, a philanthropist, will continue to collaborate to assuage the burdens of widows and children in the Nigeria.

‘’First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, was the special guest on the memorable occasion which witnessed a large turn out, and presented to widows of the South-east states, with empowerment materials.

“However, 4J for Jonathan is also a South-east volunteer initiative positioned to unite and align all President Goodluck Jonathan’s friends, fans, and followers all over the South-east zone and the country in general.’’
