Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, a former President of the Senate, has cleared all the medical expenses of a famous ailing actor, Mr John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
Saraki, a former governor of Kwara state, assisted the comic actor through his foundation, ‘Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation’.
Mr Ibu had, this week, appealed to Nigerians to come to his aide, noting that he does not want his legs to be cut off following an undisclosed ailment that has befallen him.
Reacting to his appeal, Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation, on Friday, came to his rescue and settled all his medical bills.
Disclosing this on social media, the foundation wrote: “The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation is honoured to have extended support to Mr John Okafor, also known as Mr Ibu, a renowned comedic icon who has graced our screens and brought joy and laughter to countless homes over the past four decades.
When we learned of his recent health challenges and the financial burdens associated with his medical treatment, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to assist in any way we could. We promptly paid off his entire medical expenses as of Wednesday.
“We encourage everyone who can come forward and assist in any capacity, whether through financial contributions, moral support, or prayers. “We wish him a swift and complete recovery.”
