The Arewa Think Tank, a prominent advocacy group, has expressed their deep appreciation to former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, for his generous act of covering the medical bills of the ailing Nigerian actor, Mr. John Okafor, widely recognized as Mr. Ibu.

Dr. Saraki, through the Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Foundation, extended financial assistance for the medical treatment of Mr. Ibu, who is presently grappling with an undisclosed illness.

The ABS Foundation, dedicated to enhancing the living conditions of less privileged Nigerians, plays a pivotal role in various welfare programs and initiatives.

In a statement issued by the convener of the Arewa Think Tank, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, the group expressed their sentiments, stating:

“We were profoundly moved when Mr. Ibu made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians nearly two weeks ago, seeking help to prevent the amputation of his legs due to an undisclosed ailment that had befallen him.

“Our joy knows no bounds upon learning of the financial intervention by the former Senate President to aid Mr. Ibu. We commend Saraki for shouldering the entire burden of Mr. Ibu’s medical expenses.

“This act of kindness is a shining example of a patriotic politician who harbours deep concern for humanity and his nation. We earnestly implore other Nigerian politicians to follow the path set by Bukola Saraki and lend their support to Mr. Ibu, a veteran actor who has graced our screens, bringing joy and laughter to countless homes over the past four decades.

“We encourage anyone capable of assisting in any capacity, whether through financial contributions, moral support, or prayers, to come forward. Our sincerest wishes go to Mr. Ibu for a swift and complete recovery. We pray that the Almighty God will continue to bestow upon Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki the benevolent spirit to assist humanity and our country whenever needed.”

The generous gesture by Dr. Saraki serves as a heartening example of compassion and solidarity during challenging times, reaffirming the potential for positive change when individuals and public figures rally to support those in need.
