… Says It’s Mischievous
DEBO ADEOYE – IBADAN.
The Asiwaju Odo O’odua and a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State ASIWAJU ROTIMI AJANAKU has cleared the air on the rumour of his death. He said he is alive, hale and hearty.
AJANAKU who till the time of filing this report is in Lagos attending to his businesses confirmed he had received several calls from family, friends, colleagues and political associates, who tried to confirm the authenticity of the news.
According to him “I was embarrassed when calls started trooping in on my handset, some even demanded assurance that I was the one speaking with them on phone”
“To God be the glory, I’m alive, Hale and healthy.
” It’s malicious and mischievous, I wouldn’t know what the enemies stand to gain from this ignoble idea,” he queried
“Let me also inform you that the last and recent hoax from the enemies of progress was that I have left APC, quit politics and moved to my state, Osun state.
” I know and you also know, this could only come from political enemies.
” Why should I quit politics and where’s my state? He asked.
“Perhaps I should seize this opportunity to clear the air on that. “I am still in politics and also a strong APC member in Oyo State. ” I only returned fully to my business after a short sabbatical to pursue my political ambition.
“Politicians should stop making politics their main profession” he advised.
“For the ignoramus, I’m from Oyo State, my father came from Lagos Island while my mother originated from Ondo State.
“By birth, I’m an Ibadan man, I was born and raised in Ibadan,
“That’s where I have my businesses in my country home and will continue to strive for the progress of Ibadanland.
“Besides, my grandmother was from Ibadan, the great Foko Compound. Whoever is in doubt is at liberty to make further investigation.
“With due respect to Osun State, I have not heard it from my parents that we are related to any Ajanaku from Osun, however we can’t rule out some generations before my grandparents ,afterall they all belonged to same state in the past and one Oduduwa family,” AJANAKU clarified
AJANAKU however said APC remains a party to beat in 2023, he admitted there were crisis in the party pre, during and post-election crisis but said all issues had been resolved.
“There’s no political party free of crisis but the ability to surmount all crisis and move on is what make APC the best party.
“We have resolved over 80% of all the crisis militating against the progress of our party and its members.
“No one could be singled out for blame, we all were at fault and we have paid the prize.
“Our party is back, APC will return to power in 2023 by God’s grace.” AJANAKU stated.
AJANAKU thanked those who called and visited him when the evil rumor was broken and pray God to reward everyone accordingly.
“My appreciation goes to everyone that knocked at my door, called and sent sms to me when they heard of the fake news.
“May the good Lord reward everyone accordingly,” he prayed.
