Governor and the wrecked car after the accident
There has been insinuations that, Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State may have been flown abroad for the treatment of the injuries he sustained in the accident involving his convoy on Friday. But Doctors at the Cedacrest Hospital, Garki in Abujawhere the governor is still receiving treatment hinted yesterday, that Wada rejected the option of flying him abroad for further treatment after undergoing what was described as inter-locking nail surgery on his thigh broken in the crash.
The surgery, which lasted two hours, was said to have been successful.
Spokesman for the governor, Mr Jacob Edi, echoed the doctors position when he said his principal was stable.
“I saw His Excellency after the unfortunate accident. He has been stabilised since last night (Friday). I spoke with him and he shook my hands. It was after he stabilised that he was flown to Abuja,”Edi told Sunday Vanguard.
The governor was said to have suffered a broken thigh among other injuries when his vehicle ran into a ditch after a burst tyre on Friday afternoon at Emi Woro village, about 12 kilometers to Lokoja, the state capital.
His ADC died while his driver reportedly escaped unhurt.
