Hon. Bamidele stable, doesn’t need overseas treatment – Aide

The condition of a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, is said to be stable.
This is contrary to the news that made the round on Saturday that Bamidele is to be flown abroad owing to injuries he sustained from a gunshot during a reception for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the July 14, 2018 governorship election in Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
A Mobile Policeman was said to have fired the shot.
Reacting to the news, Bamidele’s media aide, Ahmed Salami, said: “Our attention has been drawn to a social media posting by special assistant to governor Ayodele Fayose on public communications, Mr Lere Olayinka claiming that Hon Opeyemi Bamidele is in critical condition and will be flown abroad for medical treatment following gunshot he suffered during a rally in Ado Ekiti on Friday.
“This write up looks embarrassing and I believe it emanated from the pit of hell as it lacks every strand of credibility a situation like this deserves.
“Let me also warn that the sordid scenario surrounding the shooting of Hon Opeyemi Bamidele should not be deployed for morbid politicking, the writer of this wicked misinformation was widely known for.
“Hon Bamidele is fast recuperating and stabilising and no one had ever contemplated flying him abroad for medical treatment, because the situation has not degenerated to this level.
“Let me also emphasize that Dr Kayode Fayemi personally drove him to the hospital and stayed with him till 1am today in company of his wife, Erelu Bisi Fayemi.
“Dr Fayemi could not have displayed empathy for anyone more than he had done for his friend.
“We will appreciate if Mr Lere Olayinka could be Godly for once by exhibiting restraint and show human kindness in this matter, else we will be forced to believe that the government he is serving actually masterminded the attack.
“We appeal to members of the public, APC political family and our teeming admirers to disregard this devilish information intended to traumatize our people and cause disaffection.”
