Alao Akala

He was on admission at the hospital for 10 days.

Adedibu, who addressed journalists at his Ibadan residence on Monday, said that he had also deferred his overseas medical check-up till after the Appeal Court’s decision on the election of Alao-Akala.

Adedibu, who walked round his Molete premises unaided, said he called the press conference to show his teeming supporters who had been trooping to his house to ascertain his state of health that he was well.

He said, “I only want to show myself to you that there is nothing happening to me and I am hale and hearty.

“The hospital I went to (in Lagos), I even refused entirely to go there but the governor (Akala) persuaded me that I have to go and rest since the judgment was yet to be delivered.

“I said it is better for me to be at home than to attend to a thousand people everyday in Lagos.

“While in Lagos, the governor himself cannot do without seeing me everyday, Obasanjo will come there, Bode George, all these leaders are coming there everyday.

“They said I should be on bed for one month just to rest. I want to tell you this is me.”

Adedibu described as untrue, newspaper reports that he was quarelling with Senator Teslim Folarin, over the medical bill he incurred at the highbrow Lagos hospital.

He said, “They (newspapers) reported that I was even fighting with Senator Folarin for not paying my N2m hospital bill. The point is that we have three senators representing Oyo State.

“The three senators are from my bedroom, all of them. Why do I need to be particular on Senator Folatrin to pay? Why not the other two senators?

“Before I even agreed to travel to Lagos for the bed rest, Akala had sent his Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr. Razaq Gbadegesin, to go to Lagos and pay over N5m as deposit.

“Even the money I collected as gifts while I was coming back to Ibadan was more than the N2m you are talking about.

“Senator Folarin visits me at the hospital every morning from Abuja, he will leave in the night to Abuja and come again the next morning. They now said we have argument over N2m. What is N2m?”

Lol @thank God for hell fire. Do you have assurance they'll be punished there?

The man is definitely going straight to hell.

I know i ain't God and certainly cannot judge another man's fate but old fools like that believing/acting like the world belongs to them only deserves one judgement.
1st class[s][/s] ticket to hell fire

You can't judge them. God is the ultimate judge and you are no different from any of them if you sit there and judge them.

The 5 million should have been used for something tangible if only he knew the man only had less than 6 weeks on earth.
