Adesola Omidina has penned a letter of gratitude to Nigerians for the donations and care showed to his father, Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe.
When news of Baba Suwe’s ailing health was reported fellow actors, able Nigerians – local and in diaspora, responded with donations and calls. The vice president of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo donated a sum of 1million Naira to the actor after which he was admitted to LUTH, Idi Araba. But Baba Suwe still needed more care and the General Overseer of Love of Christ Generational Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Prophetess Abimbola Ajayi came to his rescue with a donation of 10 million naira and sponsorship of flight expenses to the United Kingdom for proper medical attention.
In light of the overwhelming response enjoyed by the ailing veteran, his first son, Adesola Omidina penned an open letter to Nigerians to express his gratitude.
Read letter below:

On behalf of Omidina family, I like to deeply thank everyone for your countless support, financially, morally and otherwise. The love shown to my father Babatunde Omidina (a.k.a Baba Suwe) is so enormous and extra-ordinary especially in the last 6days. The contributions and those still contributing to my father’s road to recovery are unimaginable and unthinkable. This is simply Pure Love.
I can see the favor and grace of God in my dad’s life. It is our prayers that in few months time, with your continued prayers and support, he will return fit, healthy again and back to the screen. He sends his deepest appreciation and will of course do personally later. The family will never forget this unique love, care and acceptance. God bless all the hands that giveth, they SHALL NOT LACK. Our family wish everyone the best of sound health and prosperity.
With sincere humility and gratitude.
