With the exact details surrounding the poisoning still murky, Bushradiogist has yet to ascertain the specific substance she might have ingested or how. Both the police and the State Security Service have remained tight-lipped, with no immediate updates on whether an investigation has been initiated.

This unsettling episode has heightened tensions between Ms Ade-John’s family and the government. The minister’s family and Ngozi Onwudike, the permanent secretary of her ministry, are at odds over the decision on her medical treatment. The bone of contention? Whether she should remain in a public hospital or be shifted to a more sophisticated private facility downtown. Onwudike’s stance is based on the financial implications for the government. The FMC being a public entity wouldn’t incur significant charges. This rationale, however, was swiftly rejected by Ade-John’s family. Still, a lack of adequate funds has left them with no choice but to continue her treatment at the FMC.CONTINUE READING

Efforts to reach the permanent secretary for comments on Friday morning proved futile as her phone number remained unreachable. Simultaneously, a spokesperson for the FMC hasn’t responded to The Gazette’s inquiries regarding the minister’s condition.

Lola Ade-John’s appointment in August by President Bola Tinubu was widely celebrated, marking her as one of the few cabinet members with a background outside the political arena. Having been based in London for years, the minister’s return to Nigeria was hailed as a significant addition to the president’s cabinet.
