The Ondo State government has dismissed reports of the death of the state’s governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, calling them false and stating that Akeredolu is alive and attending to state matters and functions. Ademola-Olateju added that while the governor has been indisposed for a while, he has delegated functions to his aides when necessary. They urged the governor’s handlers to come forward with information to put an end to the speculation about Akeredolu. Finally, the PDP called on Akeredolu to resign as governor if he is no longer fit for office. The Ondo State government urged the public to ignore the rumour and said the governor is very much alive.
