I'm Dying In hospital Bed-Frank Kokori

Former General Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, Chief Frank Kokori, has cried out that he is dying in a hospital bed.

The elder statement made the call while speaking with a Tribune correspondent in a telephone call on Thursday. 

Kokori, one of the arrowheads opposed to the annulment of the June 12 election won by late business mogul, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, said that he is gradually losing the battle with kidney-related ailment in a Warri health facility. 

Lamenting over how NUPENG has abandoned him, Kokori, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Delta State, described himself as “dead and risen", insisting he has been abandoned by those who should cater for his wellbeing.

“Tell the world that Kokori is dead and risen. The only man in Warri who can handle kidney problems is Horeb Hospital Warri

“But I’m facing other challenges. The Air Conditioner is not working. And AC can keep alive till morning. What a country!

“Mobilise yourselves. I have something to tell this country, please. Please, do your best.

“Tell them that I can pay any amount, but let them switch on the AC for me because I’m dying.

“The AC went off. Please do your best. Flash it. I can come alive again but I just want the world to know that if I survive, I’ll shame the leaders of this country.

“Shame on them. How can Kokori be in a third-class hospital? The People are trying their best O because I know it’s a diesel issue.

“The AC is off. Two of my foster children are here with me. I’ve sent one to meet the hospital management that they should do everything that the AC is switched on, that when I’m out, I’ll pay. That I’m dying.

“I’ve called on NUPENG that this is what they’ve done to their leaders. That NUPENG could not even take care of me. It’s sad. God bless everybody.”

Prior to making the call, the septuagenarian is reported to have been on admission in the hospital for some time.
