Tobore Obumedia, the Personal Assistant to former Secretary-General of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Frank Kokori, has disclosed the erstwhile labour leader is responding to treatment for his kidney-related ailment.

Naija News reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain had cried out from his hospital bed in Warri, Delta State on Thursday.

Kokori said he was on the verge of death and had been abandoned.

The outcry led to unexpected visits from the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, officials of NUPENG and the Senator representing Delta Central, Olorogun Ede Dafinone.

In a phone chat with The Nation, Obumedia said from all indications and reports from the medical team, Kokori is responding to treatment and would be discharged from the hospital soon.

He said: “Certainly! For now, I can say he is having quick recovery with respect to the medical team and God. So far so good, let’s say he’s had about 50% recovery and God being on our side, Chief will recover soon.”
