Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State, is reportedly receiving treatment for leukemia, according to our sources.
One of the insiders at the Alagbaka Government House said that, The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has leukemia and he is terribly depressed.
A rise in the body’s white blood cell count can lead to leukemia, a blood cancer. White blood cells in patients drive out the red blood cells and platelets that the body needs to function normally.
Strong infection-fighting white blood cells multiply and divide in an organized manner as the body requires them. But in leukemia patients, the bone marrow makes an overwhelming number of aberrant, dysfunctional white blood cells.
It is a blood-forming tissue cancer that impairs the immune system’s capacity to fight infections. Depending on the kind of leukemia and other circumstances, leukemia treatment might be complicated.
Betty, the governor’s wife, recently cried out that her husband became ill after ingesting a concoction from Bunmi Ademosun, one of his female assistants.
In a voice tape that was leaked, the First Lady accused Ademosun, the governor’s special adviser on multilateral and intergovernmental affairs, of smuggling a herbal beverage for Akeredolu.
However, the governor said that his health issue was not exceptional in a statement released by his chief press secretary, Richard Olatunde. Akeredolu reaffirmed his claim that he is performing his official duties.
In April 2022 the Ondo state governor had been admitted to a hospital in Germany after becoming ill.
He spent five weeks outside the state in 2019 while receiving medical care in Germany and Abuja, Nigeria.
Yes, I did need to get some medical help. It was overdone since it is commonplace and not at all serious. But after I got back, I was advised that I needed to take some time off. After travelling from Germany to Nigeria, he claimed, It wasn’t as serious as people blew it.
But in general, I had a lot of things to take care of that would help the state advance, so my time in Abuja was not a serious time to even rest.
As I oversaw the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for them to construct a world-class Medical city in Akure, I welcomed in the audience a world-class medical foundation, Medicus International, from Germany.
You are aware that I participated in a number of meetings, including the National Economic Council and the Governors’ Forum. The meeting I had with the World Bank, which will provide the state with capital of roughly $19 million, is noteworthy. As you can see, I’ve returned energized and ready to carry out the duties that the state’s decent citizens assigned to me.
The governor’s admission of being ill conflicts with Donald Ojogo’s earlier assertion that Akeredolu did not seek medical assistance. Ojogo was the then-information commissioner.
He branded as malicious and false rumors that Akeredolu was unwell in April 2022.
