Obasanjo commends Governor Adeleke
The Guardian reported that Obasanjo commended Governor Ademola Adeleke during his speech for his exceptional performance in Osun State and predicted that his second term would be assured.
Obasanjo's appearance at the event was a testament to his good health, despite the false rumours circulating on social media. He said that comments were a clear indication that he remains committed to the well-being of Nigerians, even in his retirement.
It's worth noting that this is not the first time Obasanjo has been the subject of death rumours.

Obasanjo has also spoken about how Nigerians can say whatever they like about him after his death, showing that he is not bothered by rumours and speculation about his mortality.
