THE NATION
Music star Peter Okoye aka Mr. P has rallied support for ailing veteran, John Okafor aka Mr Ibu.
The Nation reported that Mr Ibu and his family in a touching video solicited funds and prayers for the actor.
The actor informed the doctor said the last option would be to cut off his leg if other means of tackling his medical issue prove ineffective.
In a post on Instagram, Mr P described Mr Ibu as one who brought smiles to the faces of many and beckoned the public to support him financially and through prayers.
Ibu, who is not disposed to the amputation option, called for prayers, lamenting how his life would be if the leg is cut off.
Reposting Mr Ibu’s account details, Peter Okoye wrote: “Our very own @realmribu (John Okafor) needs our help as he goes through a medical challenge. Our Nollywood legends deserve better, its time for we the people to show him love for bringing joy to our screens all these years. I am pledging my support for him 100%. My dear colleagues, friends, family and fans pls support him in any little way you can!
He needs our prayers and financial support in this challenging time. Praying for his speedy recovery
May God heal you permanently our dear
veteran”.
