The first lady of Ekiti State, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, made a special visit to a couple who were blessed with a set of triplets.
At the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital in Ado-Ekiti, she paid them a visit.
The triplets are the first offspring of Venerable Hezekiah Akenroye, a 71-year-old retired Anglican priest, and Mrs. Durodoluwa Felicia Akenroye, a 45-year-old woman. The couple married in April 2016.
The wife of the septuagenarian clergyman gave birth to the babies on Wednesday, September 21, 2022. They weighed 2.3kg, 2.0kg and 1.8 kg respectively.
Mrs Fayemi presented the babies with cash and material gifts and urged the parents to raise the children in the way of the Lord.
She said the birth of the triplets to the couple is evidence that God answers prayers.
Congratulating the couple, she advised couples looking for children not to lose hope and keep believing in God.
The 71-year-old Venerable Akenroye appreciated the first lady for her kind gesture while expressing his happiness for being blessed with the triplets after many years of waiting.
He admitted he never believed God can still make him a father in life, stressing that God’s time is always the best.
