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.
Ossai stated that Ekweremadu helped shape the country and that citizens should not be hesitant to offer to be Sonia’s kidney donor as a result.
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 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.”
