On Wednesday, a family source informed Foxiz Nigeria that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu passed away in Lagos. From sources, Foxiz Nigeria gathered that because they were unable to transport him overseas, he was cared for by State House physicians till his passing. The source declared, “Akeredolu is dead; he died in Lagos.” After a three-month medical leave in Germany, the ill governor returned to Nigeria in September. He hasn’t taken a leave of absence since President Bola Tinubu ordered him to transfer control to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Acting Governor Aiyedatiwa, his deputy, has been filling in. Public outcry resulted from Akeredolu’s attempt to manage Oyo State from Ibadan, the capital city, after his return to Nigeria in September. Betty, Akeredolu’s wife, said on July 9 that the planned celebration of her 70th birthday would not be taking place. Following inquiries about the intentions to hold a fanfare in spite of her husband’s poor health, the first lady of Ondo announced the events’ suspension via Twitter posts.
“Hello, loved ones and friends. This is to let you know that, due to uncontrollable circumstances, all planned events for my 70th birthday have been postponed until further notice. We apologise for any trouble this development may have caused.
However, rest confident that I will return to a lavish celebration. I appreciate your understanding. She tweeted, “I’m still Arabinrin, a.k.a. Ada Owere I.
In January, SaharaReporters exclusively revealed that Akeredolu was a leukaemia patient.
At that time, one of the insiders in the Alagbaka Government House disclosed, “The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has leukaemia, he is really down.” A rise in the body’s white blood cell count can result in leukaemia, a blood cancer.
In patients, the red blood cells and platelets that the body needs to remain healthy are crowded out by the white blood cells. Strong anti-infection agents, white blood cells divide and proliferate in a regulated manner in response to the body’s demands. However, the bone marrow overproduces aberrant white blood cells that are dysfunctional in leukaemia patients.
It is a blood-forming tissue cancer that impairs the immune system’s capacity to combat infections. There are three forms of leukaemia: acute myeloid leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Depending on the leukemia’s kind and other variables, treatment for leukaemia might be complicated.
Nonetheless, a few tactics and tools can support a successful course of treatment.
The WebMD Cancer Centre lists weakness or exhaustion, easy bruising or bleeding, fever or chills, severe infections that recur, and discomfort in your joints or bones as possible symptoms. Other symptoms include be swollen lymph nodes or organs like the spleen, headaches, vomiting, seizures, weight loss, sweats at night, and shortness of breath.
