Wada now stable —Hospital •As Jonathan visits him
PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday, visited Kogi State governor, Captain Idris Wada, at the Cedarcrest Hospital, Abuja, where he is currently receiving treatment, following injuries he sustained in a ghastly motor accident at the weekend.
The governor was injured in the accident which occurred while his motorcade was returning to the state capital from Emi Woro village, near Lokoja, after an official assignment.
His aide de camp (ADC), Idris Mohammed, died in the crash.
Accompanied by Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, and the hospital’s Chief Medical Director (CMD), Felix Ogedengbe, the president was received at the private hospital located in Garki II at exactly 3:15 p.m.
Jonathan, who went into the ward to see the injured governor, did not talk to the press when he emerged about 15 minutes later, but looked satisfied with his condition.
Speaking to reporters, the CMD confirmed that Wada’s state of health had improved, revealing that the governor was doing well after a surgery and would be discharged from hospital soon.
According to Ogendegbe, “the governor is already doing step-climbing. He is doing very well at the moment. You know it was a severe injury. We have continued to watch out for any other problem that he might have. At this stage, we have not seen any other problem at all.”
