Author:Betta Edu, national women leader of the All Progressives Congress , has celebrated the birthday of a malnourished baby she rescued seven years ago in Cross River state.
Edu reflected on the day she found the abandoned baby while on public health fieldwork in a remote community, saying she mistook the child for a dead dog. “God had you in mind Christy it was your day for rescue!
