Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, reportedly slumped at the government house in Asaba last week over an unknown illness.
A government house source, who pleaded for anonymity told Sahara Reporters that Mr. Okowa who was billed to attend the World Teachers Day celebration at the cenotaph last Wednesday slumped over at his office preventing his attendance.
The source said the governor was immediately whisked away from the office to an undisclosed place for medical attention and his deputy, Kingsley Otuaro, was called to represent him at the event.
"I can tell you categorically that since that Wednesday till today the governor has not attended any public function. If you watch well, all the public functions, it’s the deputy that is representing him. Though, we can't tell why he slumped and the illness he is suffering from.
"Before becoming the state governor, he has been battling with unknown health challenges. Even when he was in the senate, he was with this unknown illness but some people close to him said what he is suffering from could not be far from some blood related illness," our source stated.
However, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to governor, Charles Aniagwu swiftly debunked the story claiming it was not true.
