#ChildNotBride: Atiku Abubakar Condemns Child Marriage
Culled from his Facebook page:
As a father, I’ve never given out my daughters in marriage before university graduation. It’s a personal decision. I had earlier stated my personal choices on the child marriage issue; I have always supported our women and children. For the avoidance of doubt, I do not support any constitutional provision which creates ambiguities about the age of consent for marriage. It’s therefore very inspiring to see young Nigerians active and organized on ChildNotBride. I’m proud to see an engaged generation at work.
