Former President of the Senate of Nigeria, Bukola Saraki, is receiving accolades and gratitude for his foundation’s compassionate act of covering the medical expenses of ailing actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu.
The distressing news of Mr. Ibu’s health challenges and his plea for public assistance made headlines recently. In a video, the veteran actor revealed his critical condition while undergoing medical treatment and sought both financial support and prayers.
In response to this urgent need, the former Senate President and his foundation, the Bukola Saraki Foundation, stepped in to take care of Mr. Ibu’s medical bills. The news was shared on the foundation’s Facebook page with a screenshot of the credit alert.
The statement expressed the foundation’s commitment to assisting Mr. Ibu in his time of need, given his remarkable contributions to the entertainment industry over four decades. The foundation not only covered the medical expenses but also encouraged others to offer their support through financial contributions, moral support, or prayers, wishing Mr. Ibu a swift and full recovery.
The announcement sparked an outpouring of prayers and praise from well-wishers and admirers:
– Emmy Young Official: “God bless Saraki.”
– Lijoka Akinwunmi: “Bravo.”
– Chasa Chubuike: “God bless you, sir.”
– Cleviitzy: “May God bless you, Our own Senate President. Thank you, sir.”
– Babatunde Eshosanya: “I profusely pray God will continue to bless Bukola Saraki immensely beyond his imagination.”
– I Am Maximilly: “Such a fantastic heart. What happened to Igbo billionaires in the East? Do y’all only flaunt money during events?”

It’s worth noting that Nigerian music icons Davido and P-Square, along with prominent personality Tunde Ednut, had also pledged to cover Mr. Ibu’s medical expenses.
