The foundation officially announced this support on its Facebook page, emphasizing its commitment to assisting individuals in need. In the statement, the foundation acknowledged Mr. Ibu’s long-standing contribution to the world of comedy and entertainment, where he has brought joy and laughter to countless households for more than four decades.
