The Ondo State Government has debunked the rumour of the death of the state governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
The Ondo State Government, in a terse statement issued on Saturday, June 3, by the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, said the governor “is hale and hearty”.
Ademola-Adeteju noted: “We have been inundated with calls and messages concerning the state of health of the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

“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.”
