Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo has decried the rumour of his death, saying he is hale and hearty even though some people want him to die.

The two times head of government of Nigeria, dispelled the rumour while speaking in Osogbo during the inauguration of the Old-Garage/Oke-Fia Road project reconstructed by Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Obasanjo stated that those who wanted him dead were spreading rumour of his death in the social media.

He said, “I heard the rumour that I was dead. I saw it in the social media. I quickly told my children and my relations that it was not true. That I’m alive. Those that want me dead, that is their wish. But God still keeps me alive.”

Inaugurating the road project, Obasanjo lauded Governor Adeleke for his performance in Osun State. He, therefore, charged the Governor to keep up the work.

The Governor in his speech, assured the people of the State of his administration readiness to complete all the ongoing projects.

He said, “My dear people of Osun State, our administration has constructed over 120 kilometers of roads across the State. Two major flyovers are also progressing to completion at Osogbo. While works are progressing at the Ile Ife Flyover and Ilesa dualization.

“I have redirected our efforts and plan at the completion of Iwo-Osogbo Road. We have added the dualization of Odoori – Adeleke Road inside Iwo to be executed in two phases. The first phase will reach Post -Office and Oluwo Palace. While the second phase will take off from Post Office to Adeeke Junction.

“I want our people to note for the record that for all our projects and programmes, we did not obtain any loan. We only block leakages in the State’s finance. And employed local content to moderate project cost and enforce high standards.

“For the second half of our government, I reassure all sons and daughters of Osun State that the Government under my leadership will complete all ongoing projects. We will continue to address the infra and social needs of our people. We will strike a balance between hard and soft infrastructure,” Governor Adeleke said.
