Ogun Govt speaks on rumoured death of Ernest Shonekan

The Ogun State Government on Tuesday evening debunked the rumoured death
of Ernest Shonekan, former Head of Interim National Government of
Nigeria.



The State said the elder statesman was hale and hearty.



Report broke out on social media Tuesday evening that the former Head of
Interim National Government of Nigeria, who succeeded ex-Military
President Ibrahim Babangida in 1994 had passed on after a brief illness
at 82.



However, BusinessDay reports that the Ogun government called the NUJ
Secretariat located Iwe Irohin House, which is a stone thrown from
Shonekan’s house to confirm that he was alive and not dead as widely
reported.



A telephone call from the Secretary to the State Government, Taiwo
Adeoluwa, on Tuesday evening indicated that the former Head of Interim
National Government of Nigeria is hale and hearty as the government
says, “It is a lie from hell. Baba is alive.”
