VP Osinbajo
Osinbajo to undergo surgical procedure over recurrent leg pain
The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is on admission at a hospital, his spokesman Laolu Akande has said.
Akande disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, saying Professor Osinbajo was scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure.
This, according to him, is a result of recurrent pain in the Vice President’s leg probably from an injury he sustained while playing squash.
The Vice President’s spokesman, however, stated that Professor Osinbajo’s doctors would give an update on the treatment at a later time.
“VP Osinbajo is in the hospital today for a surgical procedure on account of a recurrent pain in the leg possibly sustained from an injury while playing squash,” Akande said.
“His (Osinbajo’s) doctors would give an update of the treatment later today.”
Professor Osinbajo has also confirmed his health status via his verified Twitter account.
Meanwhile, the development comes days after Osinbajo attended a meeting with diplomats in Abuja on Africa’s role on energy transition.
Diplomats presented at the meeting, which took place on Thursday, were from countries including USA, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Japan, and Egypt.
“Developing a common African narrative is absolutely important because it sets the stage in providing a clear vision and a clear objective to have a Pan African initiative,” Akande had quoted the vice-president as saying in a statement.
“The broad-based coalition will ensure that the private sector and government work together in driving the processes and the nuances are adequately taken care of. It is important that we factor in all the nuances across the continent.”
