Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Monday visited victims of the Mubi suicide attack receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yola, where he donated N10 million to the hospital Paupers’ Fund.

Abubakar told newsmen after he was conducted round the hospital wards to console the victims that he was satisfied with the hospital’s effort in the treatment of the patients as well as their response.

The News men recalls that the twin bomb blasts occurred a week ago, killing scores of people and injuring many others.

The first blast was said to have occurred at the mosque located in the market, killing all members of the congregation before the second one destroyed another part of the market.


Atiku applauded the commitment of the management of the hospital and the committee it set up to manage the Paupers’ Fund meant for the treatment of underprivileged persons.

“I once donated N10 million to the fund and decided to make another donation of N10 million today because I am quite satisfied with the way the fund is being managed.

“Patients that cannot afford to get medical treatment can benefit from the fund.”

Abubakar underscored the need to recruit more security personnel, especially policemen, to boost internal security.

“Happily, I have heard an announcement that more policemen are being recruited though not sufficient.


“There is also the need to look into the training of security personnel so that they can confront the current challenges.”


Also speaking, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Prof. Muhammad Auwal, thanked the former vice president for his support to the hospital.

“He is the major financier of our Paupers’ Fund and I want to put it on record that the fund, since inception, had financed the treatment of about 300 patients, including those with major surgeries.

“The management of the hospital has no access to the fund and there is no exchange of money at all; we give the service and the fund pays directly into our TSA,” Auwal said.

He's bought their conscience. A good gesture anyway. #back_to_daura

He hasn't extended this political generosity to the tiv christians killed io benue, nasarawa, taraba and southern kaduna by his rampaging herdsmen brothers. A bigot.

Kudos to him...

Even as we know say e dey pretend to be good person, this is an act president Buhari lacks.

Buhari is man that even if an atomic bomb is mistakenly dropped in Nigeria and millions killed will still take the next flight to the UK without any words of encouragement.

When people lose their loved once its difficult to bear. Sometimes, it take years to even get going.

However, when they are comforted this way and justice achieved it brings hope.

Surely, Atiku will contribute to their medical bill and others.

God bless you Atiku: More gestures like this will bring hope to the hopeless and even force the government to be proactive.



Thank you
