Orji Kalu recovering at a German hospital
Dr. Orji Kalu, a former Governor of Abia State and chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) has regained consciousness after
undergoing a major surgery in Germany, Sun News reports.
The frontline politician and his wife, Mrs Ifunanya Kalu, had
boarded a flight on Lufthansa Airline from Abuja to Wiesbaden, Germany
on Monday.
Kalu, who had been suffering from an undisclosed and
life-threatening ailment, upon arrival in Germany on Tuesday, was rushed
in an ambulance to Helios Klinik, Wiesbaden.
The APC chieftain, who is asthmatic, has been in and out of the said hospital in the past few months.
According to Kalu’s wife, Ifunanya, who is with her husband in the
German hospital, the former governor was admitted into the operating
theatre for a major operation on Wednesday.
In a telephone conversation on Friday, Mrs Kalu, whose voice was quavering, lamented her husband’s health status.
“Although the surgery was successful, my husband will still
have to be monitored closely by a medical team for at least four months
in order to prevent complications.
“His condition is improving gradually.
“He will be fine, if he is able to keep to his doctor’s advice.
“We appreciate the prayers and kind words from friends, associates, well-wishers and Nigerians in general”, she said.
