Obasanjo declares himself healthy despite wishes of death

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he is healthy even when some people actually wanted him dead.

It was during the inauguration of the Old-Garage/Oke-Fia Road in Osogbo reconstructed by Governor Ademola Adeleke, that Obasanjo made this statement.

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.” 

He commended the efforts and good works of the governor in Osun State. Governor Adeleke reassured the people of Osun State that his administration will complete all the projects that are ongoing before the tenure ends.

Governor Adeleke 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 dualisation.

“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.”
