The Ogun State Government has said a video being circulated on social media suggesting that the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, deliberately avoided a handshake with the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, was doctored.
In a statement, the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, on Wednesday described the video as one which emanated from the opposition and was being circulated by fake news peddlers.
The state government maintained that Governor Adeleke and Ooni Ogunwusi enjoyed the best of relations.
It also appealed to members of the public to disregard the doctored video in its entirety, adding that it has uploaded the original videos for public consumption.
The statement reads this, “The attention of the Osun State Government has been drawn to a doctored video being circulated on social media by agents of the opposition and fake news peddlers.
“Governor Ademola Adeleke and Ooni of Ife, HRM Oba Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II enjoy the best of relations as evident by the cordial exchange of pleasantries at the Palace of Osemawe of Ondo at the coronation of Senator Olubiyi Ajagunla.
“We are by this medium appealing to members of the public to disregard the doctored video in its entirety while we have uploaded the original videos for public consumption.”
