The spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh,
has given reasons for why he wants to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Addressing journalists on Monday outside a
court room in Abuja where he is being tried for alleged corruption, Mr. Metuh
said his decision was based on medical advice that he should undergo a spinal
cord surgery at a good hospital.
Mr. Metuh said his health deteriorated when he
fell recently during a meeting of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
“When I fell from the chair, I had a spinal
compression and it aggravated the problem,” he said.
He said the situation with his health forced
him to abandon his political career, even in the midst of major events within
the PDP.
“I have abandoned my chosen career, even the
last convention I did not take part, because of my health. It is a serious
issue,” said Mr. Metuh.
Mr. Metuh said he was afraid of the operation,
as it could lead to complications.
“To be honest, I am really scared of a spinal
cord operation. It can lead to paralysis; it can cause many things,” said Mr.
Metuh, who walked more carefully at the court premises.
