Governor Saves Couple After Auto Crash

"We’d Have Died If Mimiko Didn’t Built Ondo Trauma Centre"

The Adeyemi’s were full of praises for Governor Olusegun Mimiko, after a ghastly auto-crash that almost claimed their lives.

According to Omotola Adeyemi and her husband, Oluwagbemiga Adeyemi, they could have been dead if not for the good works of Governor Mimiko.

In an interview on Ondotv.com.ng, the Adeyemi’s revealed how the construction of the Ondo Trauma Centre, equipped with sophisticated medical equipments and qualified medical personnel, saved their lives.

Mr Oluwagbemiga Adeyemi narrates how the construction of the Ondo Trauma Centre, equipped with sophisticated medical equipments and qualified medical personnel by Governor Mimiko, saved his lives.

Narrating his ordeal with his wife, Mr Adeyemi said: “While coming back from Okitipupa where I and my wife went to attend a friend’s function, between Okitipupa and Ore, we had a very serious accident. I had a broken leg and my wife’s two legs were broken too, the car also got burnt, then we had a passer-by who came to our rescue and took us to Okitipupa General Hospital from where we were transferred to Trauma Centre here in Ondo.

“We thank God for enabling the Governor to build this institution, this is really saving a lot of lives, it’s saving the citizenry from a lot of problems, in terms of giving accident victims prompt and efficient medical service. We want to appreciate God and the Governor for putting up this kind of institution here. If not for this centre here, the two of us would have died that night.

“When we got here, immediately we were taken to the theatre where an operation was conducted on us and it was successful. We went for two operations and they were successful. There are adequate equipment in the hospital, the Doctors were up and doing and they lived to expectations.”

On her part, Mrs Adeyemi said: “If we were taken to Federal Medical Centre at Owo or the University Teaching Hospital at Ife that night, we probably would have died. I appreciate the Governor for this institution, it is really saving lives.”
