The wife of the ailing national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, has described the survival of her husband, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, as a miracle.

Bianca, who spoke at the national convention of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Awka, the Anambra State capital on Thursday, said what she saw in Enugu and London proved to her that but for the prayers of Nigerians, her husband would long have been dead

She said all the patients Ojukwu met at the intensive care unit of the London hospital died within one week of his admission. She also recalled that the six patients her husband met at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu ward, where he was admitted, died before he was taken away to London.

“His life today is nothing short of a miracle. I would like to share this with you. It is said that God’s mercy shall never remain hidden.

“By the time he left Nigeria, he was in the intensive care unit of UNTH. By the time he got there, there were six other patients in the ward. But by the time he left, he was the only one surviving.

“Similarly, upon arrival in London, with their excellent facilities, he was also transported to the critical care unit of the hospital. On the day we got in, on the 23rd of December, there were seven other patients in that intensive care unit.

“By the first of January, on New Year’s Day, he remained the only surviving patient. Praise be to God. I attribute his miracle to your continued prayers. And I urge you all the beloved members of his party to continue to remember him in their prayers as we hope that in no distant time, he will back here with his people,” she stated.
