The Chief Press Secretary to the Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, Mr Taiwo Adisa, has debunked as rumour, the information suggesting that the said son of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who tested positive to COVID-19, was the same person that represented him at the South West PDP unification rally in Ibadan.
Mr Adisa, while reacting via some threads of tweets on his official Twitter handle on Monday, debunked the rumor, describing it as false, adding that a different member of the Atiku family got infected with the virus.
Adisa added that while the state government is still sympathising with the family, members of the public should ignore such unfounded rumor.
“We sympathise with the family of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, concerning the infection of one of his sons by Coronavirus.
“We want to place on record for the notice of the general public that the information suggesting that the said son of @atiku was the same person that represented him at the South West PDP unification rally in Ibadan, Oyo state is false.
“We have since confirmed that a different member of the Atiku family is the person so infected. The public should please ignore such unfounded rumor,” Adisa said.
