Femi John Adi, a Kaduna-based Journalist and immediate past Secretary of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kaduna State Council, has announced his intentions to donate his kidney to Sonia, the ailing daughter of Nigeria’s former Senator President, Ike Ekweremadu.
About a fortnight ago, Sonia appealed to members of the public to come to her, save her life by helping donate a kidney to replace her damaged one.
In a statement on her Instagram page she revealed that she was suffering from a rare kidney disease.
Adi announced via his verified Facebook page that he is ready to donate his kidney.
He wrote; “I, Comrade John Femi Adi, a Kaduna-based Journalist and farmer hereby announce my ‘agape’ decision to donate one of my kidneys to Senator Ekweremadu’s beautiful daughter.
“I am doing this on God’s order in the Holy Bible to Love our neighbours as ourselves.
“For further communications ,reach me via my official phone number -: 08034210833”
Reactions:
Shunom Adinga: “How many can you donate sir, pls I know someone close to me he need such help n love, just that he’s poor, I think the poor also need this love. Nice one.”
John Femi Adi: Shunom Adinga please did any poor with similar problem made any public appeal ?”
Olawale Aliyu: Shunom Adinga “But the poor has been mute and in your holiness you are aware and have kept quiet untill someone offered to assist another public figure daughter. Too late go and canvass for help in another platform. The priority is Ekeremadu’s daughter case closed.”
This is the second Nigerian that has publicly offered to donate a kidney to Sonia. Annastasi,had a few days ago offered to give up hers.
Sadly, she announced that her family vehemently kicked against it and she is in a long-drawn battle with them to let her have her way.
The Ekweremadu’s travails:
Ekweremadu and Beatrice were arrested on June 23 and remanded in a prison in the UK over allegations of plotting to harvest the organ of one David Nwamini for use by their ailing daughter, Sonia.
They are facing charges bordering on conspiracy to arrange/facilitate the travel of another person with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting.
However Ekweremadu said the boy had willingly offered to donate his kidney to his ailing daughter.
