“The PDP Ondo State chapter, demands that those hiding the governor should tell the people where he is to save the state from speculation. Our party joins millions of Ondo State people to pray for Akeredolu’s quick recovery, but nobody should play politics with his ill health. Nobody should ground the state beyond its present state. Let Akeredolu resign if he is no longer fit to be governor.”
However, the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mrs. Bamidele Ademola-Olatunji, in a statement, declared that the governor was alive. The statement read, “We have been inundated with calls and messages concerning the state of health of the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. 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.” Meanwhile, an 11-second viral video was released where the governor was seen watching a football match and drinking a bottle of water.All rights reserved.
