Former Oyo Governor Ajimobi Is In Coma – Report
Ex-Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State is in coma, according to a report by Global Excellence.
Senator Ajimobi, who was moved to a Lagos based highbrow hospital, First Cardiologist, after he was diagnosed of the dreaded coronavirus pandemic about 17 days ago, reportedly slipped into unconsciousness on June 8 while doctors have since been battling to revive him.
First Cardiologist was the hospital where the former chief of staff to President Buhari, Mallam Abba Kyari, was treated of coronavirus before he died.
Inside sources informed Global Excellence that when the former governor’s health deteriorated after he suffered cardiac arrest the first time and was placed on a ventilator at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) immediately, doctors attending to him were said to have recommended a particular drug for his treatment.
But the drug could not be found in Nigeria, according to sources; hence, a private jet was reportedly deployed to purchase the drug in London.
Still, sources added, Senator Ajimobi’s condition would not improve and he had to be put on the second ventilator with the hope that he recovers. “Although, he is alive, he has been in coma since he was placed in the second ICU,” the source said.
Former Governor Ajimobi, who is the deputy national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is said to be a diabetic patient, which makes his situation more precarious.
His family has yet to issue a statement since he took ill sometime in May.
