Some People Want Me Dead And I Saw It On Social Media But I’m Hale, Hearty – Obasanjo
Obasanjo said those who wanted him dead were spreading rumour of his death in the social media.
Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has noted that he is hale and hearty.
He said this in reaction to rumours which he noted had begun to spread on social media about his death.
Obasanjo said 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 and that I’m alive. Those that want me dead, that is their wish but God still keeps me alive.”
“Why would anyone wish me dead? Those who harbour such thoughts will not escape tragedy themselves,” he remarked.
“This kind of rumour is not only disturbing but shows the extent to which some people misuse technology. It is unacceptable,” Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo made the comments during the inauguration of the Old-Garage/Oke-Fia Road in Osogbo, Osun State, reconstructed by Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Speaking at the event, the governor, Ademola Adeleke stated that his government is committed to the state’s infrastructure development and provision.
“I have redirected our efforts and plan at the completion of Iwo-Osogbo road. We have added the dualisation of Odoori – Adeeke 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 finance and employ 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.”
