It has been reported that the immediate past Oyo State governor, Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi, is in coma,
Senator Ajimobi slipped into unconsciousness on June 8 while doctors have since been battling to revive him, he was moved to a Lagos based hospital, First Cardiologist, after he was diagnosed of the novel coronavirus about 17 days ago, sources said,
First Cardiologist was the hospital where the former chief of staff to President Buhari, Mallam Abba Kyari, was treated of coronavirus before he died.
It is said that 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 it is said the drug could not be found in Nigeria, hence, a private jet was reportedly flown to purchase the drug in London.
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 divulged.
Former Governor Ajimobi, who is the deputy national chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), is said to be a diabetic patient, and coronavirus a challenge for people with diabetes. He suddenly took ill in Abuja late May 2020 allegedly after attending one of the political meetings with his party chieftains.
