We are happy that we are witnesses to his kind gesture. We thank him and pray that the Almighty Allah rewards him abundantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also wish and pray that more wealthy and highly-placed Nigerians would take a cue from Senator Kashamu in giving hope to the hopeless,\u201d Mohammed said.<\/p>\n<p>Narrating his ordeal with tears rolling down his cheeks, Adeyemi, 38, said he took ill in May last year and thought it was malaria.<\/p>\n<p>But, upon being treated for malaria and typhoid in Akure, Ondo State, where he was based, his condition did not improve. So, he went to a hospital in Palmgrove, Lagos, where it was found that his kidneys were bad.<\/p>\n<p>He was later referred to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital where he has been undergoing dialysis with the support of his relations and friends. But, as the days went by, and weeks turned to months, resources began to thin out and it was becoming increasingly difficult to raise funds for the dialysis.<\/p>\n<p>That was when the management of the hospital told him they could help him appeal to well-meaning Nigerians like Senator Kashamu to come to his aid, and according to Adeyemi, \u201cHere I am today; Senator Buruji Kashamu being a kind-hearted person has decided to come to my aid. I cannot thank him enough\u201d.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;as Senator Buruji Kashamu donates N2.5million for transplant The joy of Mr. Adeyemi Aderogba, a patient being treated for kidney failure at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano, Kano&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
