Former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, remains in intensive care two weeks after being admitted at the First Cardiologist and Cardiovascular Consultants Hospital, Lagos for Covid-19 symptoms.

The Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress, who was reported to have slipped into coma at the weekend, was hospitalised on June 2, 2020.

He was said to have tried to manage the situation after he was confirmed positive. He was however taken to the hospital after the illness worsened.

His wife, Florence, who was also positive at some point, was discharged from hospital earlier.

A source close to the family said the former governor had an underlying ailment which was not unusual for men his age.

He said, “The former governor has been in hospital for two weeks and his condition is not getting better but we are hoping for the best. The irony is that the person whom we believe he contracted the disease from has been discharged.

“However, the former governor has an underlying ailment which is slowing down his recovery. We hope he recovers soon.”
