By Weetalknaija Daily
As a symbol of this year’s Carnival Calabar theme, “Humanity” the Former Director General (DG) of Cross River State Primary Health Care Development Agency (CRSPHDA), Dr Betta Edu has again shown a true replica of Sir Ben Ayade, the Cross River State Governor through his love for mankind and humanity by investing half a million naira to bring back hope of a man who had been suffering of spinal cord, according to Betta Edu, that the said victim was knocked down by a hit-and-run driver some time ago.
Read Betta Edu’s word below :
“As a birthday give way I will be investing one quarter of a million naira to pull this handicapped man out of poverty”.
“I will tell you his short story.
“Last week I was driving up barracks road when I saw this man… who can’t stand straight or walk tall… I wanted to drive pass but my spirit said I must help him… I tried to convince myself that I didn’t have and I was helping too many others but my spirit won’t let me move any further… I had to reverse back… park the car and chase after him… while I was struggling with myself he already made a left into the next street, I had to follow him because I knew if I don’t help him I can’t sleep”.
“He said he was a driver and was working and fending for his family until he was hit by a run away driver … it affected his spine and since then he has been deformed. He lives in an incomplete Building near barracks road… so we will change his story by Gods grace”
