The governor has promised to support OJB with fifteen million naira (N15M) needed for the kidney transplant.
This was disclosed by the head of the OJB fund raising, NoMoreloss via his twitter handle. “Officials of the government reached out to us this evening, (Wednesday, June 3) promising to donate a $100,000. The presentation, they say, will be made on Friday (June 5). We are indeed grateful to the Governor and the people of Rivers State. Now we can finally have that surgical procedure.”
An extremely excited NoMoreloss said, “We also appreciate the kind hearts of Nigerians who have made donations and those that supported us with prayers. We had a place in mind initially, but recently, there have been several suggestions from other people. We would be having a meeting by this weekend with all the concerned parties to decide which of the options is best. The donor is a family member, but for some reason, we do not wish to disclose the identity. All that matters is for him to have a successful operation.”
He also added that “I guess it is no longer SaveOJB abi? So now I think it should be celebrateOJB hmmm?”
