EKWEREMADU'S DAUGHTER IS ENTITLED TO FREE KIDNEY DONATION - OKOWA'S ASSISTANT

Sonia Ekweremadu

Sonia, the daughter of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, deserves free kidney donations from Nigerians, according to Ossai Success, an aide to Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

Success noted that Ekweremadu played a role in shaping the country and for that, citizens should not hesitate in offering to be Sonia's kidney donor.

Sonia begged the public on Monday to donate a kidney to her after being diagnosed with a rare kidney disease.

The 25-year-old, whose parents are currently facing charges of organ harvesting in the United Kingdom, stated that her illness forced her to drop out of university.

She argued that because her illness was genetic, none of her family members could donate to her, and that the donation came with no monetary compensation under English law.

Reacting to the plea, Ossai, on his Facebook page late Monday, wrote, "Ekweremadu's daughter deserves free kidney donations, Prayers from Nigerians for her father's role in shaping Nigeria

The former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has done well for Nigerians and as such, his daughter deserves free kidney donations from Nigerians.

"Those mocking her are playing with God and nature.

"If you can't give her your kidney, then pray for her instead of laughing at her family.

"Her father has paid his due as a patriotic Nigerians who as a Politician served Nigerians selflessly.

This is the time for us Nigerians to pay her back by donating kidney to save his daughter Sonia life. Please, let's save her."
