Governor of Delta state, Mr. Ifeanyi Okowa has debunked rumours flying around that he has been stricken by an unknown disease after being reported he slumped in the government house.
Okowa who spoke on Wednesday during a church service at the Government House Chapel, said he only sustained injuries on his head in a domestic accident and was not flown abroad for treatment.
“The truth is that last Wednesday, I entered the bathroom in my office and one of the tiles fell off from the wall, and I had a minor cut on my head and I had two stitches, and it was treated, and I was ok. People know I am a workaholic, and that Is why it didn’t stop me from working, I am hale and healthy,” he said.
“Am told that certain section of the social media reported that I have been flown abroad for medical treatment. When and how did that happen? It is unfair and uncharitable to disseminate false information. It is very unfortunate at this age and time that people will intentionally misinform others when there are opportunities to find out what might have happened.” Okowa lamented.
He however, pleaded to the media to be professional by conducting a thorough investigation into matters before publishing them.
