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 said that because Ekweremadu had an impact on the nation’s development, people shouldn’t be hesitant to volunteer to donate a kidney to Sonia.
After receiving a rare kidney illness diagnosis, Sonia had pleaded with members of the public on Monday to donate a kidney to her.
The 25-year-old said she had to leave the university because of her illness. Her parents are currently being investigated for organ harvesting in the United Kingdom.
She pleaded that since her ailment was genetic, none of her family members can donate to her, adding that the donation came with no reward according to England laws.
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.”
