Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is alive, hale and hearty, according to reports.
This dispelled rumours in some quarters that the former President had died.
Nigerians and indeed the global community were thus enjoined to ignore the news of Obasanjo’s death.
It would be recalled that there had been news on the social media that the former President had passed on.
A terse statement jettisoning the rumour was captured thus, “The elder statesman is alive and actively engaged in various national and continental activities.
Ignore the death rumours”.
