The Ondo State government has debunked rumours that the governor of the State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is dead.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju says the governor is very much alive as against postulations making the rounds.
The statement reads “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.
“Though the Governor has been indisposed, he has been attending to state matters and delegating functions to functionaries of the Government, when necessary.
“We enjoin the members of the public to ignore the rumour. Aketi is very much alive.
