APC CLAIMED THEY DID NOT ABANDONED OLD WOMAN WHO GAVE BUHARI 1MILLION SAVINGS.

Apparently in response to a post by someone that the
APC and Buhari had abandoned the old woman who
Contributed her hard earned savings to his campaign,
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has laughed off
the reports.
The party said Hajia Kokois was being well catered for
and not abandoned as the report claimed.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the
party said the wife of the Kebbi State Governor, Dr.
Zainab S-Bagugu, a medical doctor, has personally
taken charge of Haj Maitalle’s welfare.
The statement explained that since the woman suffered
a mild stroke while returning from Abuja where she
witnessed the swearing-in of President Buhari (at the
instance of the Kebbi State Governor and the Senator
from Kebbi Central, Adamu Aliero), she was admitted
and treated at the Sir Yahaya General Hospital in Birnin
Kebbi, and all her expenses paid by the Governor and
his wife, who ensured that her close associate and
friend, Barrister Zainab Koko, cooked and delivered
meals thrice daily to Haj Maitalle.
”When she was discharged from the hospital after 10
days, she was taken to her home town of Koko, where
she has been under the care of the resident medical
officer, Dr. Kola, who reviews her condition and
ensures she gets physiotherapy, in addition to being in
constant touch with the Consultant in Birnin Kebbi, Dr.
Abubakar Dakingari.
”The Kebbi State Government has also approved
N4million for her and her attendant doctor to travel to
Dubai for further treatment, but she has been too weak
to travel.
”Since Haj Maitalle returned to her home in Koko, the
Governor, the First Lady and Sen. Aliero have been in
touch with her. The First Lady has personally visited
her three times, the Governor and Sen. Aliero once
each, and the House of Representatives member from
her constituency over four times.
”We have gone to this great length to provide full
details of Haj. Maitalle’s condition in order to give
Nigerians the correct information about her situation.
We do not know what informed the wicked,
irresponsible and downright deceitful story that the
delightful woman has been abandoned even after she
gave her life earnings in support of Buhari’s
presidential campaign. The story of Haj. Maitalle’s
purported abandonment is a figment of the imagination
of the fellow who wrote it,” APC said
