The Presidency has dismissed widespread rumours claiming that Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, suffered a stroke and was flown abroad for treatment.

“Yes, he’s indisposed. He’s sick, which is a bit serious, but it’s not stroke. As I’m talking to you, he’s in his house. He has not been flown anywhere. Of course, he might seek medical attention elsewhere if the doctors say that is necessary. But he doesn’t have stroke. That’s why we said he is only indisposed,” the official clarified.
