Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has dismissed reports alleging that he authored a notice of his own death.
Olusegun Obasanjo described the claims as the work of what he called “never-do-well” individuals.
He was responding to a publication circulating on social media and WhatsApp, which falsely suggested that he had written his own death announcement.
The article said: “Listen and read former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s latest memoirs. (This is devoid of Obasanjo’s normal day-to-day jibes; no accusations, no abuses; it’s just like a final memoir about life).”
Olusegun Obasanjo said despite such reports, God has assured him of longevity, insisting that those who wish otherwise “are going to be dealt with by God Himself”.
Speaking in Abeokuta, Obasanjo said: “For my final note in this address, I want to point your attention to the work of some never-do-wells.
“They publish and circulate a fake paper credited to me, claiming that I am writing and giving notice of my death, pafuka.
“That is their wish and surely not God’s wish for me. God has assured me that He has more for me to do on earth, and He has given me the wherewithal to do it.
“And those who wish otherwise are going to be dealt with by God Himself. I dey kampe as usual. God bless.”
