A close associate of the LP candidate who is also a party chieftain claimed that Alao-Akala had for some now been battling an undisclosed ailment which has reduced his physical appearance at campaign rallies.
The party chieftain also disclosed that the LP candidate oftentimes sits inside his vehicle to campaign owing to his inability to withstand the rigours of standing on the rostrum for hours.
According to the associate, the collapse might also not be unconnected with the all-night party organized by the Labour Party where party faithful and the former governor drank themselves to stupor.
It would be recalled that a socio-cultural organization had recently called on the three leading candidates for the April 11 governorship election in the state to submit themselves to health scrutiny so as to determine their fitness for the rigors of the office they are aspiring to occupy
