Just In: Governor Akeredolu Of Ondo State In Critical Condition And To Be Flown Out For Medical Attention
Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State, is scheduled to be flown out of Nigeria on Saturday due to his poor health.
This comes after earlier on Thursday, it was reported that the governor had been bedridden and was at home in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
Sources confirm that his declining health prevented him from signing official documents.
On the other hand, it was discovered on Thursday that, as a result of its earlier claim, Akeredolu’s family was planning to fly him out of the nation this weekend since his health had deteriorated.
It was also learnt that to prevent pictures of the governor’s emaciated looks from getting out, the family asked security agents and a few politicians around him to put off their mobile phones.
“Governor Akeredolu will be flown out of the country on Saturday for medical treatment after the SaharaReporters’ report. He is in a very critical condition. He was put in the wheelchair of his late mother and he seemed unconscious.
“All security agents and a few top politicians around were asked to put off their phones according to a reliable source.”
“His condition is very critical now, which is why he is being flown abroad. He is currently in Ibadan because that is where the family prefers to have him when his condition is critical because of the prying eyes and civil servants in Ondo.”
