Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, yesterday, returned to Nigeria after a month of working vacation outside the country.

He dismissed the claims of his illness, stressing that he is as fit as a fiddle.

The governor, who arrived at the Lagos International Airport in an elated mood, said he feels refreshed and recharged.

A statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, quoted the governor as saying: “I am elated to be back in Nigeria in the midst of my people. You all can see I am in an excited mood as I am now recharged and refreshed to deliver more good governance and service delivery to the people of Osun State.

“The insinuation of whether I am sick or otherwise is unfounded. I am as fit as a fiddle. I went on a working vacation to both recharge and meet partners for the development and progress of our state.

“Those spreading falsehood about my trip are just embarrassed and dumbfounded by our achievements.

That’s why they’re spreading all those unfounded rumours.

“I am back hale and hearty. The good work continues.”
