This sighting contrasts with earlier reports from Sahara Reporters on October 12, 2025, which claimed Edun had been flown abroad for urgent medical treatment following a stroke, describing his condition as “very serious.”
The Punch newspaper also reported on October 12, 2025, that Edun was recuperating in his Abuja home after falling ill, with no plans for President Bola Tinubu to replace him, countering the narrative of overseas treatment.
The discrepancy in reports highlights ongoing public and media concern over Edun’s health, given his critical role in Nigeria’s economic management under President Tinubu’s administration.
Edun’s public appearance comes amidst a backdrop of fiscal reforms he has been leading, including efforts to stabilize the naira and reduce inflation.
