Below is the statement released by the Ikeja, Lagos based hospital:
“SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL TREATMENT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
“The Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, was admitted to the Duchess International Hospital GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, today on account of a fracture of his right femur (thigh bone), possibly related to a longstanding injury associated with a game of squash.
“He had a surgical operation performed by a team of specialist doctors, including Dr. Wallace Ogufere (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon); Dr. Om Lahoti (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon); Dr. Babajide Lawson (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon); Dr. Ken Adegoke (Consultant in Anaesthesia & Critical Care); Dr. Oladimeji Agbabiaka (Consultant Anaesthetist); and Dr Adedoyin Dosunmu-Ogunbi (Consultant Physician & Medical Director).
“The operation was successful, and he is expected to be discharged within the next few days.
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has also denied ever seeking President Muhammadu Buhari’s permission to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC), over the party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
Osinbajo stated in a widely circulated memorandum suggesting he asked Buhari for permission to leave APC was not from him.
The memorandum which was sighted by Africa Daily News, New York was dated June 24, 2022 with reference number SH/VP/605/2./0 and titled ‘Permission to resign from APC,’ listed family pressure and other reasons for the alleged decision.
Reacting, Osinbajo, through his spokesman, Laolu Akande, described the memorandum as fake.
Akande said Osinbajo would never author such a memo full of errors.
‘Where do you people even get these things from? Who gave it to you? Anyways, for the avoidance of doubt, the memo is fake. VP didn’t write any such thing,’ he told journalists.
Recall that Osinbajo came third during the APC presidential primaries in Abuja.
Prior to the presidential primaries, the Vice President was accused of betraying Bola Tinubu, the eventual winner of election.
Tinubu is believed to be the political godfather of Osinbajo, hence the Vice President was queried for contesting against him.
However, Tinubu settled for a Northern Muslim, Kashim Shettima as his running mate following his emergence as APC presidential candidate.
