The health of the former Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has reportedly worsened, sparking rumours that he might have died.
Bolaji Tunji, media aide to Senator Abiola Ajimobi has described as untrue reports of his death.
In a post on his social media handles, he urged Nigerians to pray for the recovery of the APC chieftain who is battling with COVID-19.
“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 said.
Also, another of his Media Aide, Funlola Adesina said the story of his death was false.
“He is not dead,” she said.
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.
