Veteran actor and broadcaster, Sadiq Daba has gotten the nod of Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje to donate the sum of N1 million to him.

During the movie ceremony, Daba revealed that he’s an indigene of Kano state but who had lived the better part of his life in Jos, Plateau state.

               
           
               
                   

This donation is coming weeks after Dr. Joe Okei Odumakin made a call to Nigerians to help donate to keep the veteran actor and broadcaster alive.

               
           
               
                   

About two years ago, Daba was diagnosed with Leukemia and Prostate Cancer. In July 2019, Femi Otedola announced his decision to take responsibility for Daba’s medical fees.

In October 2019, Odumakin called on Nigerians to help Daba regain his full health as his health took a nosedive. This necessitates an Intensive Care as he is diagnosed with Chronic Pulmonary Disease.
