A two-time governorship candidate in Ogun State and Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in the last general elections, Otunba Rotimi Paseda has described as a “lie from the pit of hell” the reports of his death.

Paseda who spoke from his base in Mexico where he is currently managing his business said he is alive and hearty.

News of the death of the politician filtered Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital Saturday.

But Paseda through a WhatsAp call said he is alive, but busy with his business.

He said, the death rumour might be as a result of being incommunicado in recent times with his political associates and media men.

He said, “I cannot die now, I still have lots of people to help. I can’t die young, I must live longer to fulfill the glory of God in my life.”

He enjoined members of the public to disregard the death rumour, saying he would soon return to Nigeria whenever he has a break from work.
