Delta state Governor and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, vice presidential candidate Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, said Sonia, the daughter of former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, deserves free kidney donations from Nigerians.
According to him, Ekweremadu played a role in shaping the country and for that, citizens should not hesitate in offering to be Sonia’s kidney donor.
Wakadaily earlier reported that the 25-year-old daughter has appealed to the public to donate a kidney to her, after she was diagnosed with rare kidney disease. Noting that the donation came with no reward according to England laws.
Reacting to her post, Okowa via his Twitter page said, “The former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has done well for Nigerians and as such, his daughter deserves free kidney donations from Nigerians.
“Those mocking her are playing with God and nature. If you can’t give her your kidney, then pray for her instead of laughing at her family.
“Her father has paid his due as a patriotic Nigerians who as a Politician served Nigerians selflessly. This is the time for us Nigerians to pay her back by donating kidney to save his daughter Sonia life . Please, let’s save her,” he said.
