“We shall continue to empower widows and the less privileged in our society. We will next time establish free medical check-up and persons found sick would be taken to general hospitals for treatment.
“It is my belief that if every well-meaning persons in Anambra North come out to do what I am doing, the level of poverty will reduce in the area.
“It is also my hope that it will be bigger next time than what we have today. I urge federal and state government to assist those in the rural areas through provision of basic amenities and good medical care,’’ he said.
He said he was not expecting anything in return from his gesture but peoples’ prayers.
One of the widows from Oyi Local Government Area, Mrs Roseline Chinweze, commended Anosike for the assistance and called on other wealthly people in the area to emulate his kind gestures .

“He is humble and accommodating, I pray God to sustain him and his humanitarian gestures,’’ she said.
