Former Senator for Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has said that Nigerians would rise to help veteran Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
He said this in a Thursday post on X, formerly known as Twitter, in reaction to the actor’s frantic call for help.
In a video that went viral on Wednesday, Mr. Ibu disclosed that he had been hospitalised for several weeks because of “a strange and dangerous illness”.
According to the 62-year-old, doctors at the hospital have warned that his legs could be amputated as a last resort.
He appealed to Nigerians for financial assistance and prayers to help him combat the ailment.
“As I speak to you, I am still lying down in the hospital; the medical director of this hospital said that the best solution is that, in case his new idea didn’t work, the best idea is to cut off my leg.
“Just see me, if they cut off my leg, where do I go from here? Please pray for me, talk to God Almighty, and I don’t want my legs to be cut off. Thank you so much. God bless you,” Mr. Ibu said.
Reacting, Sani said, “Mr Ibu is my favorite artist and Comedian.
“He lights up and entertains the homes of millions of Nigerians.
“We shall not let him down for reasons we can all collectively solve.
“We shall do the needful and also bring the attention of the big names to do the needful.”
