"As a father, I've never given out my daughters in marriage before university graduation " Atiku Abubakar #ChildNotBride
Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has added his voice to the #ChildNotBride campaign:
"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."
