In a turn of events following heightened concerns about this health status, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State was seen watching the recently concluded FA Cup match between Manchester United and Manchester City, as captured in a video shared by his aide on Twitter. This comes just hours after false reports of the governor’s death began circulating on social media.

Speculation about Governor Akeredolu’s health has been rife, with unverified claims suggesting that he is seriously ill and has been flown overseas for medical treatment. However, the video shared on his official Twitter page on Saturday evening shows the governor engrossed in the football match alongside some of his political associates.
The video, which quickly gained traction on social media platforms, provided a visual reassurance to the public that Governor Akeredolu is alive and well, contradicting the rumors of his demise.
The reports of Governor Akeredolu’s death had caused a stir on social media, leading to widespread concern and confusion among the public including criticism from the opposition PDP in the State who called on the Governor to handover authority to his Deputy following his incapacitation.
In a related development, the Ondo State Government has refuted reports of the death of the State Governor.
The state information and Orientation Commissioner, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, in a statement in Akure, made the clarification.
The statement reads “We have been inundated with calls and messages concerning the state of health of the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON.
“We had chosen to ignore this wicked fabrication until it appeared that certain persons seek to draw political mileage from the disinformation.
“Though the Governor has been indisposed, he has been attending to state matters and delegating functions to functionaries of the Government, when necessary.
“We enjoin the members of the public to ignore the rumour. Aketi is very much alive.
