Report About Akeredolu’s Incapacitation, Divided Cabinet Mischievous, Malicious- Ondo Govt Reacts To RovingNaija’s Exclusive Report 

Ondo State government has again insisted that its governor, Rotimi Akeredolu is not incapacitated to run the state despite his current state of health.

The state government made this known in a reaction to the exclusive report published by this online newspaper some days ago.

RovingNaija News had on Sunday June 4 exclusively reported that the governor has not been sighted in public since his return from his annual vacation. The development which was believed to have led to series of rumours about his death, triggered division in his cabinet and an underground move to impeach his deputy.

Reacting to the report, the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju insists that Akeredolu’s cabinet is intact and the governor not incapacitated.

The state government image maker stated this in a press Statement issued and sent to our correspondent to set the record straight.

The statement reads:

“The attention of Ondo State Government has been drawn to a skewed report in an online newspaper, on the purported split in the Cabinet of the Ondo State Government. 

“This malicious report toes the same insidious path of perfidy already trodden by certain purveyors of speculatory hagiography designed to mislead unsuspecting members of the public.

“Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, is not incapacitated. The finality with which the report concluded on his state of health is most unfortunate. Another online medium had peddled the wicked lie on the demise of the Governor in Germany, when he was resting in Ibadan.

“The Cabinet cannot be “disunited” when directives emanate from the office of the Governor. There is no ambiguity in that respect. Members of the public are enjoined to disregard the wicked rumour of incapacitation. We reiterate that the Governor has been discharging the functions of his office effectively. Governance is collective. The fixation on the governor is mischievous. There is no crisis in the State. Political jobbers should steer clear.

Signed

Bamidele Ademola-Olateju

Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation”
