However, the National President association, Mr. Latin has debunked the rumours.

Speaking in Abeokuta, Mr. Latin disclosed that the association had been taking care of Baba Suwe’s medical bills since 2017.

He also said his colleague had been getting financial and moral support from TAMPAN since the news broke under the administration of immediate past President of the association, Dele Odule.

”I have just instructed the Lagos State executive of the association to check on him (Baba Suwe) to ascertain his health progress.

“I can tell you that we have not abandoned Baba Suwe, as well as any of our members, as being speculated in some quarters by mischief-makers”, he said.
