Lam Adesina moved to St Nicholas Hospital, Lagos •Health workers’ strike responsible

Alhaji Lam Adesina

AILING former governor of Oyo State, Alhaji Lam Adesina, was, on Saturday evening, transferred to Saint Nicholas Hospital, Lagos State, for further medical attention.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that the leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Oyo State was moved from the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan to ensure that the looming strike by medical workers does not affect his chances of speedy recovery.

Hospital sources hinted that Professor B.L Salako, the physician attending to the former governor, objected to Alhaji Adesina’s transfer to Lagos but could not keep him when the family insisted he should be transferred.

Alhaji Adesina, who was said to have come up from the diabetic coma into which he went, leading to his being rushed to the UCH last Tuesday night, was moved out of UCH around 3.30 p.m. on Saturday.

The state chairman of the ACN, Chief Akin Oke, when contacted, said he visited the party’s leader in UCH on Saturday morning.

He added that he got to know that health workers were about embarking on strike, adding that there was nothing bad if the family decided to make an alternative arrangement for the former governor.
