Activist and convener of
Concerned Nigerians group, Comrade Deji Adeyanju, has called on the Labour
Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to use part of the N6.5billion
election money contributed for him during the 2023 elections to assist ailing
veteran Nollywood actor, John Ikechukwu Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
He also called on President Bola
Tinubu to reach out to the Nollywood actor and help him out of his present
predicament.
Mr Ibu
had on Wednesday publicly solicited support from Nigerians, saying that he
risked amputation of his legs over an undisclosed ailment, which had made him
bedridden for weeks.
However, in a video message
afterwards on Wednesday, Deji Adeyanju appealed to President Tinubu, Peter Obi
and other Nigerians to contribute any amount in order to save the life of the
comic actor.
“Hello everyone, this is an
appeal to every Nigerian to kindly help Mr Ibu, who is currently sick. It does
not matter how much you can contribute. Let us help him.
“I also want to appeal to
President Tinubu to kindly reach out to him and his family and help him and
also to Peter Obi, who was aggressively supported during the last election to
kindly support him.
“It’s not when something bad
happens that people would start showing that ‘Oh Mr Ibu was a good man’. This
is the time to really help Mr. Ibu.
“I hear that there’s about N6.5bn
in the Labour Party presidential confers from the contributions we made in the
last election. This is the time to use such money. Also, we can use from the
EndSARS money, which is about $500,000 USD for good causes like this. God bless
everyone. Amen,” Adeyanju said.
