Umaru Dikko at the PDP secretariat
According to SaharaReporters.com, Alhaji Umaru Dikko, the Second Republic Minister of Transport under the National Party of Nigeria government, accepted to chair the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Disciplinary Committee at the risk of his failing health.
A source in Dikko’s family disclosed that he was rushed out of a London hospital, and returned to the country against the wishes of his son, Dr. Bello Dikko, who is also a practicing medical doctor in the United Kingdom.
The source, who asked for anonymity when contacted by SaharaReporters, said, “Baba is really sick and cannot talk effectively, he is suffering [from] hypertension that resulted into almost a stroke. As we speak, he is still under medication and not even functioning very well, but we wonder why they insisted he should do this job. Sincerely, we have done our best and the fact is, he accepted at the risk of his life.” 
He added that pleas to the PDP to shelve Dikko’s involvement fell on deaf ears, pointing out that the Second Republic minister was also adamant.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, yesterday inaugurated the Dikko committee in Abuja.
A journalist who covered the inauguration said Dikko’s voice was feeble, and that he looked sick and frail
