Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani has pledged support for Mr. Ibu, describing him as his “favorite comedian.”
Recall that the veteran actor recently celebrated his 63rd birthday in an undisclosed hospital in Lagos on Tuesday. He revealed in a video posted on Instagram that he needed financial support so his leg would not be amputated.
He said, “I have been down for so many weeks, all I’m hoping for is your prayers and assistance. I’ve been in the hospital, as I speak to you, I’m still lying down in the hospital.
“The medical director says in case his new idea didn’t work, the best idea is to cut off my leg, just see me, if they cut off my leg where will I go to? Please be on prayers for me, talk to God Almighty, I don’t want my leg to be cut off. God bless you.”
