•Wale Edun
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, yesterday evening declared the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Wale Edun was recovering well after speaking with him personally.
In a post on his verified X handle, @SundayDareSD, the former Minister of Youth and Sports wrote: “Moments ago I got off the phone with Nigeria’s Finance Minister / COE Mr. Wale Edun in Abuja. Over a bowl of Amala, we spoke for a few minutes with assurances he was getting better. I wished him the best of health. Sunday Dare Alamala Reporting”.
Dare’s light-hearted confirmation comes amid growing speculations on Edun’s health, which prompted a wave of misinformation over the weekend.
Multiple sources in the presidency told reporters that while the minister was “indisposed,” he had not suffered a stroke or travelled abroad for treatment.
Edun, who has been central to President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing economic reforms, is said to be resting at home in Abuja and receiving medical care.
The latest update from Dare reinforced official reassurances that the nation’s chief economic policy driver remains in recovery and continues to be in touch with colleagues.
