As part of his philanthropic duty to humanity, the Secretary General of the Association of Local Government, ALGON, Hon. Abubakar Mohammed over the weekend, sorted out medical bill worth Five Hundred Thousand Naira for one Mallam Garba Garus Almana.

Report has it that Mallam Garba Garus Almana, was to undergo surgical operation, but financial instability had caused a constraint until Hon. Abubakar came to his aid during his recent visit to Lokoja for eid-el-Maulud break.

Hon. Mohammed who was duly informed about the unavoidable absence of the patient when he inquired of Garba’s whereabouts, ordered that the patient be taken to Shifa Hospital in Lokoja, clearing the surgical operation bills, and has since then handled payments of drugs, other expenses worth over two hundred thousand naira while also taking up full responsibilities of the patient’s family.

When asked what the drive was to help humanity, Mohammed who contested to represent Lokoja 1 constituency at Kogi state House of Assembly in 2019 election opined that contrary to political gimmicks as people would think, he is constantly moved by passion and concern for the plight of the vulnerable in the society especially his immediate environment as the holy Quran constantly reminds of the need to being our brothers’ keepers, hence the gesture.

The doctor on duty, Dr Abdulkareem Ibrahim, pleased with the kind gesture, thanked Abubakar while appealing to other well spirited individuals from the area to emulate from the exemplary action of Hon. Abubakar, whom he termed a selfless leader with a very large heart.
