“Those breaking death news and the person presumed dead will all die one day. I’ve been lucky. My father died at 42, while my mother died at 102. I’m 89. I’ve crossed the expected life age”, he said.

The elder statesman also illustrated how the rumour of his death hit several news platforms on June 7, 2022, noting that the rumour mongers claimed that he died at the University College Hospital, (UCH), Ibadan.

A few days later then, the family issued a statement, declaring that he was not dead but suffering from old age ailment and asked Nigerians to pray for him to survive the health complications.
