Former Governor of Abia State and chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Dr. Orji Kalu, has regained consciousness after
undergoing a major surgery in Germany.
The frontline politician and his wife, Mrs Ifunanya Kalu, had boarded
a flight on Lufthansa Airline from Abuja to Wiesbaden, Germany on
Monday.
Kalu, who had been suffering from an undisclosed and life-threatening
ailment, upon arrival in Germany on Tuesday, was rushed in an ambulance
to Helios Klinik, Wiesbaden.
The APC chieftain, who is asthmatic, has been in and out of the said hospital in the past few months.
According to Kalu’s wife, Ifunanya, who is with her husband in the
German hospital, the former governor was admitted into the operating
theatre for a major operation on Wednesday.
“Although the surgery was successful, my husband will still have to
be monitored closely by a medical team for at least four months in order
to prevent complications.
“His condition is improving gradually.
“He will be fine, if he is able to keep to his doctor’s advice.
“We appreciate the prayers and kind words from friends, associates, well-wishers and Nigerians in general”, she told Daily Sun.
