The surgery on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was declared “successful.”
This medical update was made public in a statement signed by Dr. Adedoyin Dosunmu-Ogunbi, Medical Director of the Duchess International Hospital in Ikeja.
The doctor’s update, on the other hand, was made public through a statement signed by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President.
Akande said, “Doctors who performed the surgical operation on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, to treat the recurrent pain caused by a fracture in his leg have concluded the procedure and it was successful.
“Also, the VP is alert and well”.
The doctor’s statement titled: “SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL TREATMENT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT”, reads:
“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.
Akande had previously stated on Twitter that the VP was in the hospital for a surgical procedure.
Akande tweeted that, “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. His doctors would give an update of the treatment later today.”
