Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has dismissed rumours of his death circulating on social media, confirming that he is alive.
OBJ said that he recently woke up to false rumours of his death circulating on social media, stating that the stories disturbed him.
Obasanjo made this known while speaking at the commissioning of the Old-Garage-Oke-Fia-Lameco road by Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke.
In his remarks, Obasanjo said; “I heard the rumour that I was dead. I saw it on the social media. I quickly told my children and my relations that it was not true and that I was alive. Those who 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.
“This kind of rumour is not only disturbing but shows the extent to which some people misuse technology. It is unacceptable.”
