Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Wednesday, returned To Nigeria after a three-month Hospitalisation in Germany.

The New Diplomat gathered that the aircraft ferrying the governor, a private jet with United Aviation flight number N728LB touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja at about 3:20 pm

On May 31, Governor Akeredolu travelled on a 21-day leave and was expected to return on July 6.

In his absence, his deputy, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa stood in for him as Acting Governor.

While recuperating, in August, Akeredolu wrote to the State parliament, notifying it he would be extending his medical leave abroad.

On the heels of rumours of his deteriorating health, pictures and videos of the governor have been circulated on social media to dispel rumours of his death.

Further according to SaharaReporters, Akeredolu was treating leukemia. “The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has leukemia, he is really down,” one of the sources in the Alagbaka Government House told SaharaReporters.

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in the body.

For sufferers, the white blood cells crowd out the red blood cells and platelets needed by the body to stay healthy.

White blood cells are potent infection fighters which grow and divide in an orderly way, as the body needs them. But in people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces an excessive amount of abnormal white blood cells, which don’t function properly.

It is a cancer of blood-forming tissues that hinders the body’s ability to fight infections.

The types that exist include acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Treatment for leukemia can be complex depending on the type of leukemia and other factors.

However, some strategies and resources can help make treatment successful.

According to WebMD Cancer Center, its symptoms may include weakness or fatigue, bruising or bleeding easily, fever or chills, infections that are severe or keep coming back, and pain in your bones or joints.

Others may include headaches, vomiting, seizures, weight loss, night sweats, shortness of breath, and swollen lymph nodes or organs like the spleen.
