Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo on Monday in Benin debunked rumours that he was being hospitalised after a traffic accident that occurred on December 28, 2013.
Mr. Oshiomhole was reacting to media reports which claimed that he was lying critically ill in hospital.
The governor, while addressing members of the State Executive Council, said he was not hospitalised after the accident involving his official vehicle and a J5 bus.
“The rumours of being hospitalised and under intensive care were the figment of the imagination of my detractors,” he said.
The governor said the accident occurred around 10.a.m. on December 28 close to Ewu Town.
He said he was on his way to Benin from his village, Iyamho, to receive Vice President Namadi Sambo, when the J5 bus conveying tomatoes, veered off the road and rammed into his official vehicle.
The governor said none of the occupants of the official vehicle, including himself, was injured.
He said that though the vice president was on a private visit, he was obliged, as the state chief executive, to receive him at the airport.
Mr. Oshiomhole thanked God for saving his life, saying in spite of the accident, he was still able to receive the vice president, who was in the state to felicitate with Tony Anenih on his birthday.
