It was gathered that doctors treating Ajimobi on Friday informed his family that his situation had defied every medical intervention and that only a miracle can bring him back to life.
Family members, political associates and relatives of former Oyo State governor, Abiola Ajimobi, are fearful as hopes of him recovering from coma fades away by the minute.
The 70-year-old slipped into coma on Thursday for the second time as a result of COVID-19 complications.
The news sparked rumours of his death, sending panic across the landscape especially among his supporters and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) where he is the National Deputy Chairman (South) of the party.
On Monday June 22nd 2020 , a reliable source close to the Ex-governor told the journalist that Ajimobi had been on life support machine since Friday after he slipped into a deep coma and may not make any recovery going by the observations of medical experts around him.
The source further disclosed that the former Oyo governor has had a lung surgery since being hospitalised but made no progress while his kidneys have also failed.
To douse tension generated by his health condition, it was discovered that his supporters have circulated an old video on the Internet of Ajimobi having lunch, claiming that it was captured during the recent Muslim festival to mark the end of Ramadan fast just to show that he was alive and in fact healthy, according to the source, who spoke with the journalist said the move was a deliberate attempt to deflect attention away from his precarious state of health.
Source said he is in very bad shape, he has been hooked to a ventilator since and on life support machine since Friday. There is only a very slim chance of him making it alive from that hospital.
The video in circulation is an old one meant to douse tension among his supporters, the source said.
First Cardiology is the same hospital where former Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, was treated for Corona virus until he died of the disease.
