Osun Deputy Governor makes first public appearance after death rumours

Friday is the first time that the Deputy Governor of Osun State, Mrs. Grace Titilayo Tomori would appear in public since rumours of her death went viral last Wednesday. She described the speculation as “the handiwork of enemies” insisting that she was hale and hearty. Mrs. Tomori, who spoke while representing Governor Rauf Aregbeshola at the closing ceremony of the 2015 National Women Conference organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO, in Lagos, stressed that there should not have been any anxiety over her health. “I thank God that I am alive. The rumour of my death is from people of the other side. I thank God for the opportunity given me to be among you today. It is my privilege and honour to deliver the closing speech of this conference,” she stated. Just before delivering Aregbesola’s speech titled “Ode to Womanhood”, Tomori used the first five minutes to praise God and she was joined by virtually all women in the hall. She asserted that “The wish of my enemies for me will not come to pass.”
