This is indeed the first time in the history of Yendi that any individual or group of persons have given recognition and organized an event of such a great magnitude in honour of the women of the Municipality.
Assorted items worth over Six Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHC6,000) including hampers and several freebies were presented to the mothers who have over the years impacted the lives of their children and contributed to the peace, unity and socio-economic development of Yendi.
The event brought together several most influential women from the northern region including; Hajia Sauda Saeed (Deputy National Women Organizer of the NPP), Hajia Alima Saeed (Wife of the Northern Regional Minister), Hajia Ayishetu Seidu (MCE for Savulugu), Mrs Adamu Salamatu a.k.a Mama (Chairperson for the occasion), Madam Felicia Tetteh (Northern Region 2nd Vice Chairperson of NPP) and Hajia Adisa Haashmin (Chairperson Danqauh Ladies).

She indicated that, her decision to commit such a huge resource in honour of the mothers was basically to honor them in place of her late mother at celebration of the Mother’s Day.
Hajia Abibata who is also an Aspiring NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Yendi Constituency received praises and several words of encouragement from all the speakers at the occasion, who perceived her unprecedented gesture as historic.
They openly declared their support for Hajia Abibata and described her as very courageous, caring, loving, respectful and visionary woman who has single-handedly offered over 812 direct jobs to youth of the area at different levels and has also empowered many women economically.
