Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Southwest Nigeria is alive, the State has declared.
Gatekeepers News reports that the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, dismissed the death rumour of the Governor, stating Akeredolu is “very much alive.”
To further debunk the rumour, a video was released showing the Governor watching the FA Cu finals between Manchester United and Manchester City.
Ademola-Olateju said the State government discovered that certain persons sought to draw political mileage from the disinformation.
She added the Governor has been attending to state matters and delegating functions to functionaries of the Government, when necessary.
The Commissioner wrote, “We have been inundated with calls and messages concerning the state of health of the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON. We had chosen to ignore this wicked fabrication until it appeared that certain persons seek to draw political mileage from the disinformation.
“We enjoin the members of the public to ignore the rumour. Aketi is very much alive.”
