Edo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Kassim Afegbua, has dismissed insinuation that he is unwell.
Prince Afegbua, who spoke in video, said he has been working in his office.
He was reacting to comments by a social media influencer based in the United Kingdom, Albert Obazee, that he (Afegbua) was hospitalised.
The Edo Information Commissioner said the video was to show that Obazee was a liar.
Afegbua also displayed documents concerning the Radisson blu hotel in response to former Governor Godwin Obaseki comments that the state government spent N2bn to purchase the hotel.
His words, “This video is to show that one noise maker who feeds off social media is a liar. I am in my office.
“I am not hospital. That wish he place to me will bounce back on him. He is going to be unwell. It is going to be visible to everyone to see that he is very unwell. I am in my office and I am doing well.”
On the Raddisson Blu hotel, Afegbua said documents showed the sum of N25bn was sourced from the stock market.
He said the N25bn remained debt on tax payers of Edo State.
Agegbua said Okpebholo is paying N385m monthly from the IGR in the name of irrevocably payment order on the N25bn.
