Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju has described as “handiwork of mischief makers”, the rumours making the rounds that the State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu is dead.
Ademola-Olateju stated this in a statement signed by her, while reacting to the rumour that went viral across the country on Saturday that Akeredolu had passed on, said the governor was very much alive.
The Commissioner who urged the people of the state and the country to ignore rumour about Akeredolu’s death said;
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.
Signed
Bamidele Ademola-Olateju
Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation
