Akeredolu’s Health: Ondo Govt Says No Cause For Alarm

By Ayodele Oni

Coming after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s wife refuted the death of her husband, the Ondo state government has issued a statement urging the public to  ignore the rumor on the death of the Governor.

The Commissioner for Information, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, in a statement on Saturday 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.”

The Governor’s wife had earlier said in her Facebook page that the governor is enjoying his annual vacation.
