The special assistant on public affairs to the 87 years old Anthony Enahoro, Olawale Okuniyi, has assured Nigerians that the elder statesman is alive and recuperating.
Mr. Enahoro's failing health created anxiety in the public domain on Monday.
"Chief Anthony Enahoro is still very much alive," Mr. Okuniyi said. He acknowledged that Mr. Enahoro, accompanied by his eldest son, Ken, was rushed to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital at about 1.30pm on Monday when his health deteriorated.
According to him, he is under close medical observations of his doctors at the UBTH.
"His health is currently stabilising in Benin, the Edo State capital, after an initial relapse occasioned by stress and old age," he said...
He explained that the statesman had been under close medical guidance for some time due to weakness associated with old age.
Mr. Okuniyi further expressed appreciation to well-wishers, associates, and the general public as well as the international community, on behalf of the Enahoro family, for their concern and prayers.
