An unemployed auxiliary nurse and a mother of one, Happy Odegua Okojie, has cried out to her kinsman, the All Progressives Congress(APC) governorship candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to come to her aid in procuring a prosthetic limb to enable her live a normal life.
Okojie, who hails from Udomi clan in Esan Central Local Government Area of Edo State, rely on the benevolence of kind hearted individuals for sustenance. She said she was lucky to be alive after she survived a ghastly car accident which led to her leg to be amputated in 2010.
She said that she decided to cry out to the APC governorship candidate, who according to her she calls ‘big brother’, for assistance to seek proper medical attention adding that having heard about his philanthropic gestures and support for the needy she appealed to him to extend his philanthropic gesture to her.
According to her in 2012 attended a prosthetic clinic in the United Kingdom, (UK) where she was assessed and provided with a prosthetic leg adding that the leg had long expired prompting her to seek for support of her kinsman and other public spirited individuals for support.
She recalled that in 2017 and 2021 Governor Godwin Obaseki supported her financially but it wasn’t enough for her to make the trip to seek for medical assistance from her doctors in the UK.
She said, “Since I had the accident that left me incapacitated life have been difficult for me and that is why am using this opportunity to reach out to my ‘big brother’ distinguished Senator Monday Okpebholo, (aka Akpakomiza) to enable me get proper treatment by renewing my long expired prosthetic. I have made several attempts to reach out to him all to no avail.”
