Ekwueme was rushed to the hospital in an air ambulance, in what was described as a critical condition.
Ekwueme’s wife, Helen, received the SGF, who was in London before the arrival of the ex-vice president.
Mustapha told the Ekwueme family that the president and all Nigerians were praying for the speedy recovery of the elder statesman.
He expressed confidence in the doctors’ ability to do their best.
