June 03, (THEWILL) – The Ondo State Government has debunked rumour that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has died.

Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, in a statement on Saturday evening, asked Nigerians to ignore the rumour of the demise of the Governor.

The statement read: “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.”
