BARELY 24-hours after President Goodluck Jonathan visited him at the Cedar Crest Hospital in Abuja, Kogi State Governor Idris Ichalla Wada has left the hospital, but he may not return home to his state soonest.
Confirming the discharge of the governor from the hospital in a telephone chat with The Guardian Tuesday in Abuja, his media spokesman, Jacob Eddy, said his boss had been certified fit enough to leave, but added that he wanted sometime to rest fully before resuming duty in the state.
Responding to the enquiry about his boss, Eddy said: “ I can confirm to you that he has left the hospital today (yesterday) but the question of returning to the state soon is not there yet because he requires sometimes to rest and fully recover. You know because he is a man of the people, if he goes back to Kogi now, people will not allow him to rest.”
Wada’s aide, however, did not disclose where the governor is, saying that he required enough time to fully recuperate before resuming duty in the state.
Wada was hospitalised last Friday following injuries he sustained in an auto crash at Emi Woro Village, between Prime Polytechnic and Salem University, in Ajaokuta Council, about 12 kilometres to the state capital, Lokoja.
His aide-de-camp, Idris Mohammed, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, died while many others in the governor’s convoy sustained varying degrees of injuries.
The governor was said to have refused to be taken abroad for treatment because of his confidence in Nigeria’s health sector.
