The former Oyo Governor, Abiola Ajimobi’s spokesman, Bolaji Tunji, has revealed on Thursday evening that his principal is alive.

The health of the immediate past Oyo governor has reportedly worsened, sparking rumours that he might have died.

“I spoke with those around him not long ago and they confirmed to me that he is still alive. Please disregard news of his death as fake news,” Tunji told The PUNCH.

The former governor, who was named the acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress on Tuesday, had been on quarantine for over two weeks, battling COVID-19.

Ajimobi, who is 70-year-old is believed to have an underlying illness which is slowing down his recovery.
