- Family members and political associates of former Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, are fearful as hopes of him recovering from coma fades away by the minute.
- The rumours of his alleged death spread like wild fire on June 18, 2020 sending chaos across the country especially amongst his supporters and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), where he was recently pronounced the Acting National Chairman of the party.
- Popular Journalist Kemi Olunloyo, announced on Facebook, Tuesday June 23, 2020, that the former governor had lung surgery and his health had since then worsened.
On Monday, a reliable source close to the ex-governor told SaharaReporters that Ajimobi had been on life support machine since Friday after he slipped into a deep coma and may not make any recovery going by the observations of medical experts around him.
The source revealed that the former Oyo governor has had a lung surgery since being hospitalised but made no progress while his kidneys have also failed.
His alleged lung surgery was further corroborated by controversial Journalist, Kemi Olunloyo who authoritatively declared that his health had worsened.
Kemi Olunloyo had earlier on Thursday, June 18, 2020 debunked rumours of the former governor’s death.
It was reliably gathered that Doctors treating Ajimobi on Friday informed his family that his situation had defied every medical intervention and that only a miracle can bring him back to life.
To douse tension generated by his health condition, SaharaReporters discovered that his supporters have circulated an old video on the Internet of Ajimobi having lunch, claiming that it was captured during the recent Muslim festival to mark the end of Ramadan fast just to show that he was alive and in fact healthy.
According to the source, who spoke with SaharaReporters, the move was a deliberate attempt to deflect attention away from his precarious state of health.
“He is in very bad shape, he has been hooked to a ventilator since and on life support machine since Friday. There is only a very slim chance of him making it alive from that hospital.
“The video in circulation is an old one meant to douse tension among his supporters,” the source said.
Investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo also confirmed the above statement.
Ajimobi has been in the Intensive Care Unit at First Cardiology Hospital, Ikoyi, Lagos, since he was rushed to the place few weeks ago after it emerged he had Coronavirus.
The former governor first slipped into coma on June 8 but was revived and stabilised by doctors until last Thursday when he again went totally unconscious.
First Cardiology is the same hospital where former Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, was treated for Coronavirus until he died of the disease.
