The old woman that donated N1m for Buhari's campaign is back from treatment abroad.

 

Mai Talle Tara however suffered a stroke on May 29 while returning from Abuja where she had gone to witness the swearing-in of President Buhari. When she got back into the country on Sunday after her successful medical trip, Mai Talle Tara appreciated all efforts by the President Buhari and the Kebbi State government to make her whole again. 

The personal physician to the Kebbi State governor, Dr Abubakar Bawa Dakingari, also said traveled with her to Dubai to make sure she was adequately catered for. Dakingari dismissed media reports that Mai Talle Tara was abandoned.

“After admitting and treating her at the Sir Yahaya General Hospital in Birnin Kebbi at the initial stage, we had to wait until all the processes of traveling abroad were concluded. We had to do visas for all of them (accompanying family members) and you know it is not something you do in a day.”

He said the sum of N4 million was expended for the medical trip, which took care of their accommodation and feeding. Hajiya Mai Talle-Tara’s daughter, A’isha Isa, who accompanied her to the Dubai trip, told journalists that her mother was well taken care of at the hospital.

“They gave her proper care in everything. They worked very hard on her. They did all the necessary things for her. We thank the Kebbi State government for taking care of our mother. We pray God will guide them in their leadership. We also appreciate the doctor that went with us,” she said.

Among those who supported Buhari’s campaign was a 9 year old girl named Nicole Eniiyi Benson. She donated her lunch money to the Buhari presidential campaign.
