Lol!is a good gesture though, but u know why am laughing .we all know what the end game is.
Former Vice President and All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, has reportedly donated the
sum of $100,000 towards the treatment of a
Nigerian woman suffering from blood cancer.
This was disclosed by Director of the Atiku
Media Organisation, Malam Garba Shehu,
during a media chat at the Nigeria Union of
Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Abuja.
Shehu said the woman, whose condition was
found out on Facebook, got the aid and was
operated upon in an Egyptian hospital.
The gesture, according to the media aide,
was only a bit of philanthropic gestures of
the former vice president.
He stated that the presidential aspirant did
not utilise the opportunities as campaign
strategy, but rather kept the activities away
from the public.
“Atiku supported a Nigerian girl suffering
from cancer of the blood in Egyptian hospital
with $100,000 out of the $180,000 needed
for the operation. He did not know the
person. He just sighted her on the social
media, Facebook, and they made the balance
of $80, 000.
“These things are coming from his heart, but
he does not want it out. We in the media
team have a duty to protect his integrity. He
can make capital out of it politically because
that’s what others are doing, but he does
not want to talk about his philanthropy”, he
said.
On consensus, Shehu said the APC was
different from the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party in terms of promoting internal
democracy.
He, however, added that Atiku would be
willing to support anyone who eventually
emerges as the presidential candidate of the
APC.
“In APC, they want to do something different
from the PDP. There is a process for the
emergence of candidate through consensus
and Atiku is in support of this. So, this
country has been headed by people who
have no focus, but we want to do things
differently”, he stated.
