Edo PDP chairman Tony Aziegbemi told PUNCH on Friday that the former speaker is receiving treatment at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital.

Aziegbemi said Onobun was not in a critical condition.

“I can confirm to you that he had an accident on Wednesday and he had fractures in some parts of his body but he is responding and not in critical condition.

“When I visited him on Thursday, we spoke and he even told me how the incident happened. I wish him a quick recovery so that he can get back on his feet and contribute to the development of his people as he has always done,” Aziegbemi added.
