Akeredolu not  incapacitated, to resume duty soon — Ondo Govt 

Ondo State government has debunked the rumour making it round that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu was in a state of extreme incapacity as well as being hospitalized.

According to the state government, the report credited to the Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on the 11th of July, 2023 was false. 

Commissioner for Information, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju said the governor’s doctors certified him fully fit to resume work very soon.

According to her,  evidence showed that Akeredolu was not in any critical state that should warrant reprehensible conduct as he still sent a post to the Executive Council Committee platform yesterday.

Ademola-Olateju urged members of the public to ignore this news as the contents therein exist in the realm of the imagination of workers of iniquity.

“The headline, “Akeredolu in state of extreme incapacity, hospitalized”, bore a tinge of the usual mischievous, wicked, and insensitive reportage, sponsored by desperate politicians.

“The Chairman of the APC in Ondo State, Engineer Ade Adetimehin, who attended the meeting, has debunked the report as untrue and totally disconnected from the statement of the Chairman at the event. 

“The National Chairman was indeed excited at the reports on the rate of recovery of the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, and urged all those present at the meeting to pray for his quick return.

“It, therefore, smacks of mischief and unabashed abandonment of professional ethics for a reporter to present this gross misrepresentation, a mischievous twist, as news. At no time did the Chairman mention that the Governor was in a state of “extreme incapacity.”
