Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), on Monday visited Alex Ekwueme, former vice-president, at a London hospital.
Ekwueme, who has been ill for about two weeks, was flown to the UK for medical treatment on Sunday.
President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the treatment after he was briefed about the elder statesman’s condition.
“The approval covers the immediate charter of an air ambulance for the emergency movement and the cost of treatment. President Buhari prays that God will grant the elder statesman speedy recovery,” Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, had said.
