Key Supporters Of Nwankwo Kanu’s Heart Operations by gare(op): 8:33am On Aug 19, 2025
Kanu Asked Obi To Pay For His Surgery & Obi Refused, He Begged Tinubu & Tinubu Paid For It*—Ikeotuoye





Important clarification (often mixed up with the operation itself)

Seed funding for the Kanu Heart Foundation (founded 2000): Kanu has publicly said that Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave him money that helped him start the foundation. That support concerns the charity’s launch, not the 1996 heart operation and who was peter Obi in the year 2000


Why was this topic taken down of hidden, naira land should get their facts right before taken issues to the front page, moreover

John CDO Ikeotuoye, a gospel music crusader and business mogul, has alleged that Peter Obi once refused to assist football legend Kanu Nwankwo when he needed money for heart surgery. According to John, Obi told Kanu that he would not use his money for such a purpose.

In an interview with Talk True Podcast, John said after Obi’s refusal, Kanu turned to Bola Tinubu for help. He said Tinubu provided the financial support that enabled Kanu to undergo the surgery.

John also said that *Obi’s current donations to hospitals are not genuine acts of kindness but rather political moves to promote his ambition of becoming president*

In John's words: "*When Kanu Nwankwo had a heart problem, Peter Obi was one of the first people Kanu Nwankwo approached to pay for his surgery. Peter Obi told him that that is not what he will use his money for. Kanu came to Lagos State to meet Bola Tinubu, a Yoruba man, and he paid for his surgery*"

That threats was taken down because it was false.

The thread said Kanu went to meet Obi for help with surgery and he said no. Then he met Tinubu and Tinubu paid. That is false

Even if Tinubu helped Kanu Nwankwo that is personal and Kanu is free to return the favour to Tinubu nothing concern us.

THE FACTS.

Nwankwo Kanu was moving from Ajax Amsterdam to Inter Milan in 1996 when it was discovered that he had a heart defect. The condition was discovered during medical tests connected with the transfer.

Inter Milan president, Massimo Moratti (who's a billionaire), vowed that Inter Milan would support Kanu and the club sent him to the United States to undergo heart surgery. Inter Milan paid for the surgery.

Bola Tinubu was in exile in the United States at this time and he had nothing to do with the surgery.

Kanu Nwankwo has stated that he needed money to start his heart foundation and they approached 3 governors in the year 2000 and Bola Tinubu was one of the 3 governors that provided the money for the take off of the foundation.

Kanu stated this after he was criticised on social media for leading a team of Super Eagles legends to visit Bola Tinubu in 2022.

Peter Obi was not a governor in the year 2000.

I just tire for this people. When I saw the thread, I have to check again when Peter Obi became governor knowing fully well that Kanu's heart operation was during the military regime.
Yoruba is just disgracing themselves because of few years of Presidency (my full respect for real omoluabis though) . Nigerians are watching. It will come back to haunt them.
