Uduaghan, yesterday, dismissed rumours
that he was dead, though he admitted that he
had facial paralysis, commonly called bell
palsy, a few weeks ago, and had to abandon a
State Executive Council meeting for a
medical check-up.
Uduaghan, at an inter-denominational thanksgiving
service to mark the 2013 Democracy Day and 2nd
anniversary of his administraion, at the Flock of
Christ Mission, Enerhen, said part of the rumour
was that he had stroke and was confined to a wheel
chair, while some heartless persons were planning
to buy casket for his interment.
Restating his determination to "finish strong" in
2013 by delivering on his electoral promises, he
said: "There is too much hatred in the land, so
much rumour mongering. We are human, so I can
be sick too. A few weeks ago, I had some health
challenges. I had weakness on one part of my face.
In spite of that, I went on a courtesy call with it.
After three days, I was pressurised to travel for
check up abroad.
"But I am well now. I spent three days in Abuja
because of my health. People were spreading
rumours that I was dead and they were ready to buy
a casket for my burial. However, you can see I have
conquered the fear of death. If people are sick, we
should pray for their recovery and not wish them
dead.
"We must stop spreading dangerous rumours. They
are destructive rumours, they do not build the
society, but destroy society and that is why I am
urging all Deltans on the need to live in unity and
help my administration to finish strong. Pray for us
to succeed."
Governor Uduaghan said he had stormy elections
and praised Rev. Simeon Okah of Flock of Christ
Mission and National Vice President, PFN, South-
South Zone for his prayers and support.
