Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has dismissed rumors of his death, stating that he is alive and well. Obasanjo made this statement on Tuesday during the inauguration of the Old Garage/Oke Fia-Lameco Dual carriageway in Osogbo, Osun State.
“I heard the rumor that I was dead. I saw it on social media. I quickly told my children and my relations that it was not true and that I was alive,” Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo expressed his disappointment and concern over the spread of false information, stating that “those who want me dead, that is their wish but God still keeps me alive.”
“Why would anyone wish me dead? Those who harbor such thoughts will not escape tragedy themselves. This kind of rumor is not only disturbing but shows the extent to which some people misuse technology. It is unacceptable,” Obasanjo added.
The event was attended by Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, who inaugurated the project as part of the state’s infrastructure development initiatives.
