I've never favoured helping a woman over a man - Rene Ahmed

The founder of Visitahospital Foundation, Rene Ahmed shared her opinion about the young hawker disguising as a girl to get help.

Even though she understands what might have pushed him into it, she affirmed that women do not get more help as widely publicised.

Rene said:

"I can understand why he thought dressing as a young girl would help, I get it but againnnnn we have to be sure that his intentions are pure. Finally, I don’t agree that young women get more help. In my line of work, we encounter both and we’ve never favoured one over the other."

Legit.ng earlier reported that the singer appeared to have dropped interest in assisting a viral street hawker who made headlines.

The reason for Davido's action is not far from reports claiming the hawker who poses as a girl is a boy named Sultan.

In a tweet via his X account, Davido, who had called on his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state, to assist the hawker, now told him to abort the mission.
