[ODUNEWS] January 17 – On Tuesday, the Ondo State Government made a statement regarding the mounting concern over Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s health.
According to the administration, it was forced to address the worries and reassure the populace that “by the grace of God, there is no cause for alarm.”
According to a statement by Richard Olatunde, the governor’s chief press secretary, Akeredolu experienced health issues like everyone else, but he has received treatment and is quickly recovering.
The spokesperson stated that the office’s immunity does not cover mental or physical health and that the principal is not a superhuman.
Olatunde pointed out that, in contrast to rumours, the governor is still carrying out his official duties despite his frailty and is not suffering from a terminal illness.
The government noted his recent commitments, including last week’s Executive Council and Security Council meetings, where decisions on the escalating violence in Ikare-Akoko were made.
“The Governor, who participated in intense campaign activities on January 7th, could not have been bedridden, as commonly thought.”
Governor Akeredolu still unveiled a new refrigeration van for the benefit of the state’s meat traders last Friday.

The statement came following a leaked recording in which Akeredolu’s wife stated that her husband is on the mend after consuming a “concoction” purportedly made by a female aide, Bunmi Ademosun.
