Those who want me dead won’t escape tragedy – Obasanjo debunks death rumours

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has refuted rumours of his death.

Reacting to the rumours which have been making the rounds on the social media, Obasanjo stated that he is still alive.

The ex-President, while speaking at the inauguration of the Old Garage/Oke Fia-Lameco Dual carriageway in Osogbo, Osun State, questioned why some people would wish him such ill-fate.

According to him, after hearing the rumours he quickly informed his family members that he’s hale and hearty.

“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,” Obasanjo stated.
