Chief Solomon Olugbemiga Ayoade, the Chief Press Secretary to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin has declared that the traditional ruler is hale and healthy.
Ayoade made this declaration while speaking with journalists Monday evening.
There were rumors filtering in on Monday evening that the traditional ruler has joined his ancestors.
But, Ayoade when contacted described the rumor as false.
He also debunked the rumour that the traditional ruler had been flown out of the town for medical attention.
“By the time I left the palace around 8 pm, there was nothing of such incident. Things were moving well. There was no crisis. And when I contacted the palace after I left, they told me Baba is hale and healthy.
“The Olubadan just finished eating amala. He is hale and healthy. It is just a rumour. There is nothing of such.
“Baba is still in Ibadan. He was not flown anywhere. He is doing very fine,” he said.
