Amid earlier speculations about his health, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has been seen in good health and high spirits in London.
According to reports, Edun visited the O’DA Art Gallery stand at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair held at Somerset House, London, on Wednesday, October 15.
A video obtained by the media showed the gallery’s founder and creative director, Obida Obioha, guiding the Finance Minister through the exhibition. At the same time, they discussed some of the artworks on display.
Before his trip, Edun was said to have been unwell for a few days, but the Presidency had denied widespread rumours that he had suffered a stroke or was in critical condition.
Obioha said: “It was a pleasure to welcome the Honourable Minister of Finance, Wale Edun (@finminnigeria) to the O’DA Art Gallery booth at 1-54 London (@154artfair) today, October 15, 2025, at Somerset House.
“We had the privilege of walking him through our presentation, Lines of Spirit — featuring Simon Ojeaga, Paul Majek, and Afeez Onakoya — three artists whose practices explore the intersections of form, rhythm, and transcendence within contemporary African abstraction.
“The presentation reflects O’DA’s ongoing commitment to championing artists who expand visual language while remaining deeply connected to questions of identity, memory, and community.”
