Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has undertaken to offset the medical expenses of Maryam Abubakar, a Sokoto indigene suffering from cancer and presently receiving treatment at an Indian hospital.


Her case has gone viral under the hashtag SUPPORTMARYAM and elicited various online donations from good Samaritans who sympathized with her plight.


Announcing his intention in Sokoto to offset the bill, Tambuwal, who spoke through his special adviser on media and public affairs, Malam Imam Imam, also urged the people, especially the Muslim faithful, to pray for the success of the impending surgery and eventual recovery.


“Maryam is one of us and everything possible will be done by the state government to ensure her full recovery,” he said.


The patient, a staff nurse at the state Specialist Hospital, is an indigene of Gilbadi village of Gada Local Government Area of the state.


She was diagonised with liver cancer in India in 2016 and requires the sum of four million Naira (N4,000,000) for a definitive and life-saving surgery where the diseased part of the liver will be removed.
Speaking in Sokoto, one of the promoters of the SUPPORTMARYAM appeal, Dr. Auwal Ahmed, commended Tambuwal for the gesture, and prayed to God to ensure her quick recovery.


“The Governor has intervened in other areas for citizens in need of help. This is commendable and we pray to God to reward him,” he added.

Grow up child.

Grow up

Chai this one really touched me,our rulers are meant to be saving lifes not being an agent of destruction,quick recovery to the woman and tnx to the governor

A good step for other governors to follow
Thats if intentions are real and not political

Kudos to Waziri on this. Hope she survives.

So long as the cancer is localized to one part of the liver...her survival chances are very good.

Eric Abidal, former France international and Barca player is a good example. He had liver cancer...but it was localized to one lobe of the liver. He had an operation, some chemo...and was ok.

It is when the tumor starts spreading outside the liver that problem starts.

HMM

This country is a joke. They would not equip hospitals na eye service dem go dey do.even president no fit use Nigerian hospitals. Indirectly telling us we can go and die for all he care. Mtcheeew

Nice one, this is what we expect from this corrupt politicians, channel some of this ur loots to help improving and saving lives,

If your own governor refuses to help you and others are helping theirs, you should know that you're cursed.

When your own governors are using their own money to pay for shopping and hotel bills of actresses and prostitutes, you're on NL typing trash.

Better go and run Antivirus in your destiny.
