Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is being treated for blood cancer (leukemia), according to sources.
“The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has leukemia, and he is terribly depressed,” one of the Alagbaka Government House sources informed Newsmen.
Leukemia is a blood malignancy caused by an increase in the number of white blood cells in the body.
White blood cells drive out red blood cells and platelets, which the body requires to keep healthy.

White blood cells are effective infection fighters that develop and divide in a controlled manner as needed by the body. However, in persons with leukemia, the bone marrow creates an abnormally large number of white blood cells that do not function normally.
It is a blood-forming tissue cancer that impairs the body’s ability to combat infections.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia are the three types.
Leukemia treatment can be complicated depending on the kind of leukemia and other circumstances.
However, certain tactics and resources can aid in the success of treatment.
According to the WebMD Cancer Center, its symptoms may include weakness or exhaustion, easy bruising or bleeding, fever or chills, severe or recurring infections, and pain in your bones or joints.

Headaches, vomiting, seizures, weight loss, night sweats, shortness of breath, and swollen lymph nodes or organs such as the spleen are all possible symptoms.
Betty, the governor’s wife, reportedly declared that her husband was sick after consuming a “concoction” prepared by one of his female assistants, Bunmi Ademosun.
In a leaked audio tape, the First Lady accused Ademosun, the governor’s special adviser on Multilateral and Inter-Governmental Affairs, of slipping a local herbal drink to Akeredolu.
“This is Arabinrin, I have a message for Ademosun and I believe that she’s on this Aketi’s women platform. I want this woman to stay away from my husband, stop sneaking in concoction.
“According to her, they are from her fake pastors to give my husband to drink. We rely on medical care. We rely on western style of medical care and Aketi will get well.

“What has triggered this very message is her recent meetings to become the deputy governor of Ondo state. Look at you, what have you got upstairs to become the deputy governor of Ondo state? Peradventure anything happens to Aketi, Lucky takes over, it’s a constitutional thing. But for you to be scheming, for you to be scheming. I warned Aketi from the beginning that this woman is evil, this woman is no good and it’s happening. She has nothing good for you and I warned you. This woman is bloody evil. But I’m warning her for the very last time to stay away from my husband.
“And look, if you are dealing with an Igbo woman in this kind of situation, I’ll deal with you mercilessly that you won’t forget in your life. For the very last time Ademosun, stay away from Aketi, you won’t find it funny with me. You are a very terrible woman, go away and enjoy your look,” the governor’s wife is heard saying in an audio file.
However, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, the governor stated that his health issue was not unique.
Despite my illness, I am recovering quickly and performing office functions. Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo, has broken his silence.

Akeredolu emphasized that he is carrying out his official duties.
Newsmen had reported in April 2022 that the Ondo state governor was hospitalized in Germany after becoming ill.
In 2019, he also left the state for five weeks to seek medical treatment in Germany and Abuja, Nigeria.
“Yes, I needed to seek medical attention. It was nothing so serious as overblown because it is routine. But on my return, I needed to take some time off based on advice. It wasn’t as serious as people blew it,” he said after arriving in Nigeria from Germany.
“But basically, my stay back in Abuja was indeed not a serious period to even rest because I had to attend to a lot of issues that will move the state forward.
“I received in audience a world-class medical foundation, Medicus International, from Germany as I presided over the signing of the MoU for them to build a world-class Medical city in Akure.

“You are aware that I attended the governors’ forum meeting as well as the National Economic Council meeting and several others. Of particular note was the meeting I held with the World Bank that will bring in a capital of about $19 million for the development of the state. As you can see, I’m back fresher and stronger to continue the work the good people of the state mandated me to do.”
The governor’s acknowledgement of his illness contradicts Donald Ojogo, the then-information commissioner, who had stated that Akeredolu did not seek medical treatment.
In April 2022, he called claims that Akeredolu was sick evil and deceptive.
