Gov. Obi made these comments after receiving the Political and Economic Chief at the USA Consulate-General office, Lagos, Mr. Phil Drown, at the Government House Awka. The governor’s encounter with journalists ran as follows:
“Sir, we understand that you just came back from the UK [where you went] to see Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.”
“How do you people know that I travelled?”
“From a reliable source, sir.”
“You journalists appear to know so many things.”
“Sir could you tell Nigerians the state of his health?”
“He is doing very well.”
“Sir, has he regained consciousness? Is he talking now?”
“He asked me to great Nigerians for him.”
“When is he coming back?”
“As soon as the Doctors decide.”
Ojukwu, who suffered a stroke, was taken by an air ambulance to the UK for treatment. The Governor and those close to him have refused to disclose the hospital for fear Nigerians would cause traffic problems there just as they did when he was at the University Teaching Hospital in Enugu.
