A 60-year-old chieftain of the All Progressives Party (APC) in Lagos State, Mr. Rotimi Pedro, is down with stroke and needs financial assistance from well-meaning Nigerians. 

Until he became paralysed last year, Pedro was APC ward chairman at Okerube Ward in Abaranje, Ikotun, Alimosho Local Government Area. Pedro, who has been bed-ridden for over 10 months, has been abandoned by family, friends and associates. The party chieftain said he was struck by stroke three days after the announcement of President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the March 28, 2015 presidential election.
This, according to him, was after he had delivered his ward to APC at the presidential and National Assembly’s elections. He said: “In the midst of the celebration, three days after the election of President Muhammadu Buhari, I fell down and had my right arm and left limb paralyzed.
