The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has conveyed President Muhammadu Buhari’s goodwill message to former Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme, who is currently receiving treatment in a London hospital.
On approval by President Buhari, Dr Ekwueme was flown to the hospital in an air ambulance in what was described as a critical condition.
The SGF, who was in London before Ekwueme’s arrival, was received by his spouse Helen, on behalf of the Ekwueme family.
According to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, Mustapha told the Ekwueme family that the President and all Nigerians are praying for the speedy recovery of the elder statesman, adding that he believed that the doctors are doing their best.
