The state administration of Ondo has punished a civil servant for allegedly circulating false information about Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s death.
Pastor John Adeyemo, the Head of Service, who did not reveal the civil servant’s identity, claimed in Akure that “the disciplinary measure was based on the death rumor being peddled about the Governor.”
The civil official in question has been suspended, according to Adeyemo, and his name has been given to the Civil Service Commission for proper punishment.
According to him “the officer posted the fake news on his Facebook account, such bad behaviour would not be condoned in government.
The Head of Service, however, suggested “severe sanctions against purveyors of such fake news to serve as a deterrent to others, such fake news creates problems in the society.
Adeyemo expressed his delight that the governor had returned to the country in good health, saying that “God has shamed the rumour mongers and their sponsors.”
“Incidentally, I called Mr Governor a day before the rumour and we spoke and chatted. So, when I heard the fake news I was disturbed and was like who is this fellow carrying this terrible rumour I knew Mr Governor was alive and with vigour. So, never believed it.
On April 1, 2022, governor Akeredolu began a two-week holiday as part of his annual vacation.
In an acting role, he passed over control to his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
However, it was rumored that the Governor had died in a German hospital while he was overseas.
Meanwhile, the governor, speaking upon his arrival in the state, branded the rumor as “wicked” and “politically motivated.”
Akeredolu expressed gratitude to the people of the state, noting that he is still alive and will return to work on Monday next week.
“I left the shores of this country on March 27, 2022. I was with my party, I was physically present, I was there until the early hours of 27th March 2022.
“Throughout 26th, I was at the convention of the APC in Abuja and everybody saw me there. I even sat with delegates from Ondo State.
” I never left them except when I left to greet delegates from South West and other areas. And it was a successful outing for us in Ondo State and for South West as well.
“And the second day, I left for Dubai, we had the annual investment meeting, which is Dubai Annual meeting and we were all there.
“So many Governors, about 13 of us were there. I went principally in respect of our Port Ondo because it was during the previous year that we had a relationship, and with the relationship with Dubai Port, I wanted to solidify.
“It was not a pleasant vacation, my vacation started on first but from 27th March 2022 it was a working visit to Dubai, I was still working, so my first 14 days did not start until 1st of April, 2022.
Akeredolu added that ” I was in Dubai working about the State. About 14 States participated and each State has its stand, and I displayed what we have in Ondo State, our Bitumen, and our Mineral resources. I attended other fora to discuss and project the image of Ondo State”.
