Akeredolu’s ill-health: Ignore Death Rumour, Aketi Is Very Much Alive – Ondo Govt

The Ondo state government has urged the public to ignore rumour making the round that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state is death.

The social media space had been a washed with rumours of death of Governor Akeredolu lately, a development which prompted the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state to ask the government to declare the health status of the governor.

But reacting to the rumour in a statement issued by the state commissioner for information, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, the Ondo state government said that certain persons seek to draw political mileage from the disinformation.

The government noted that the Governor has been indisposed but has been attending to state matters and delegating functions to functionaries of the Government, when necessary.

The statement added, “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 for hh, 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”, the statement added.
