Several government sources in Ekiti State have
confirmed to SaharaReporters that Deputy
Governor Funmilayo Olayinka is seriously sick. Two of the sources told SaharaReporters that Mrs. Olayinka has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The deputy governor’s prolonged absence from
public events had fueled rumors that she had
passed away. However, when a correspondent of
SaharaReporters sent a text to Governor Fayemi of
Ekiti four days ago inquiring about speculations of
his deputy’s death, the governor wrote back
denying the rumors.

In his text, Mr. Fayemi stated that Mrs. Olayinka was alive. Even so, Mr. Fayemi failed to respond to follow-up texts asking about the deputy governor’s
whereabouts and health condition. In interviews with several government sources, SaharaReporters learned that Mrs. Olayinka had been unable to perform official public functions due to her serious ailment. “Her Excellency, the deputy governor, is suffering from cancer,” said one of our sources. He added, “We’re all praying God to heal her and make it possible for her to return fully to serving the state.”

Our sources disclosed that Mrs. Olayinka was
receiving treatment at St. Nicholas Hospital in
lagos. However, they stated that they could not
reveal the stage of her cancer. One source disclosed that the governor had warned top government officials not to discuss the deputy governor’s health crisis. “The governor is in touch with her and with members of her family and is offering every possible form of assistance in addressing her cancer,” the source stated.

The government officials we spoke to were cagey
about the deputy governor’s location. One of them
said the ailing deputy governor “is very much in
Nigeria,” even though he would not disclose
whether she was within the state or outside. A
different source also stated that the deputy
governor had been discharged from St. Nicholas
hospital and is currently recuperating at her Lagos
home with her family.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party told
SaharaReporters that he sympathized with the
sick deputy governor, but he criticized the Fayemi
administration for concealing information about
her condition from the people of the state.
“Governor Fayemi and his group raised their
voices in protest when [former President] Yar’Adua
was flown to Saudi Arabia for treatment without
Nigerians receiving information or updates about
his condition. Today, the same Fayemi is behaving
like the cabal that surrounded Yar’Adua,” said the
source. He added, “Mrs. Olayinka is a public official.
If she is too sick to attend to her official duties,
then the good people of Ekiti State deserve to be
told.”
