Former Abia State governor, Theodore Orji has debunked the death rumour that has gone viral on social media.

Naija News learnt that Orji, in a three-minute video, said the general public should disregard rumours of his death, adding that those who wished him dead would die before him.

He noted that he is alive and not surprised by the rumours because he is used to such.

His reaction follows rumours of his alleged death in an unidentified Kaduna specialist hospital where they said he had gone for a medical checkup since his travelling documents have been withheld by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, debunking the rumour, Orji stated that “For sure, I am alive. Are you not seeing me? No be man dey talk?

“The rumours (of my death) don’t mean anything to me. I am used to rumours; I am used to serious rumours, so it doesn’t mean anything to me.

“It is you who are my friends that are worried and you have come now to verify and you have seen the truth; that I am alive. I dey kampe.

“It was a very wicked rumour. This is not the first time it has happened in Abia.

“People go into their rooms and concur stories and push it out and those who are gullible will buy the idea. Social media is open to every person and my good friends will start fumbling.

“I am not perturbed at all. You have access to me and I am here. I have been to Umuahia. If not for the shift in the election, I could have been at my polling unit voting.

“To the people of Abia State, I will encourage them to be steadfast. They should stay strong. Things are hard, but it is not hard for people only in Abia State it is hard for people in other states. They should endure because one day, it will be better.

“They should disregard the rumour (of death). Since they said that I am dead and I am alive, I don’t know the type of rumour that they will be generating tomorrow that will be more than this one.

“You can’t eat your cake and have it. If you wish me well, God will wish you well.

“If you wish me bad, evil will follow you and that is what will happen to still those people who are rumouring that I am dead.

“Death is waiting for them sooner or later. They will die before me. Even if they are younger than me, they will die and I go dey here kampe.”
