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.”
