A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo, Olusola Oke, has called on the people of the state to continue to pray for the ailing Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and ignore satanic rumours of death.
Recall Politics Nigeria earlier reported Akeredolu proceeded on medical leave and had handed over to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to act as the governor till he returns.
However, reports had surfaced on social media claiming that the Ondo state chief executive had passed away, but the governor’s aides refuted it, saying Akeredolu is still alive.
Meanwhile, in a statement entitled “Stop this satanic verse”, issued Thursday, Oke described the various reports about the governor as satanic and warned those behind them to stop the rumours.
His words:
“The orchestrated rumour of the death of Governor Akeredolu by some political profiteers has become a grave concern to me and men and women of good conscience in Ondo state.
“In the past, I have ignored the tune as a mere political adventure, but the latest version of the wicked woven rumours from their mill is satanic and totally inhuman.”
