According to Aminu Abdulssalam Gwarzo he successfully sponsored 52 patients to undergo free eye surgery at Makkah Specialist Eye Clinic in Kano State.

While it’s been over a month since this claim was made, this investigation has shown that there is no evidence to show, as the management of Makkah Hospital has denied the claim attributing it to a mere political statement by the deputy governor of the state.
Findings have revealed that there is only one Makkah Eye Clinic in Kano State, managed by Al-Basar International Foundation a non-profit International Organization with its headquarters located in Saudi Arabia.
Information reaching Ekweanaedo News reveals that the said hospital, Makkah Eye Hospital never received any patients sponsored by either the deputy governor or the Kano State government.
