Edun Did Not Suffer Stroke, No Plans To Replace Him — Presidency

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.

Rumours emerged on Sunday that the Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Wale Edun, has been flown abroad after suffering a stroke, and President Tinubu was seeking an urgent replacement.

But, the Presidency has dismissed such rumours.

“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.
