“Anyone who might recognize the child, please present themselves at the hospital to help trace her family or relatives. If in case her relatives cannot be traced, I am willing to chip in and adopt her,” he said.The former governor’s statement has drawn widespread attention online, with many expressing concern for the young girl and offering assistance in locating her family.
