APC candidate offsets ₦4.8m medical bills in Kwara

The Kwara South senatorial district candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections, Prince Olalekan Adewoye, has paid N3.8 million in medical bills for two indigent patients who have been under monthly medical expenses at the state general hospital.

Speaking during his visit to the Kwara State University Teaching Hospital (former General Hospital, Ilorin) on Saturday, the senatorial candidate said that the intervention ensured immediate discharge and continued care of the patients, who had been unable to settle the bills for their treatments.

Prince Adewoye also extended additional support of ₦1 million to other patients admitted in the ward to assist with their feeding and other immediate welfare needs.

“The intervention brought visible relief and renewed hope to patients on admission”, he said.

Speaking on the purpose of his visit, Prince Adewoye stated that true leadership and genuine wealth are measured not by personal possessions, but by the positive impact they make on the lives of the less privileged, particularly in critical sectors such as healthcare.
