The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has come to the rescue of a 13-year-old orphan from Daura, Kastina State, Aisha Haruna, who was involved in an inferno that burnt her beyond recognition

The former vice president, who was deeply touched by the burns on the teenage girl, approved immediate payment of all the hospital bills, including her plastic reconstructive surgery.

In a statement disclosed by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, the PDP presidential candidate gave the directive through his Atiku Cares Foundation (ACF) after the plight of the young girl was brought to his attention.

The ACF got to know of the news of this life threatening situation of Aisha via Facebook. The victim, an orphan had been poorly taken care of at home because of paucity of funds to facilitate her treatment.

Following the directive to ACF, which is focused on humanitarian interventions, Aisha was moved with an ambulance from her home in Daura to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano where she is currently receiving specialist treatment.

The PDP presidential candidate wishes her a quick and safe recovery.
