Bolaji Tunji, the Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to Acting APC National Chairman, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and his daughter, Fatima Ganduje-Ajimobi have refuted the claim that Ajimobi was dead.
Some online media had claimed that the ailing politician died in Lagos at about 8 pm.
Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other stakeholders in the state were on telephone calls to confirm the news as they were gripped with anxiety.
His Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Bolaji Tunji, however, told The Nation his principal was alive and responding to treatment.
Also in a post on his social media handles, Tunji urged Nigerians to pray for the recovery of the APC chieftain.
Ajimobi was appointed Acting National chairman of the party on Tuesday following the suspension of the substantive National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.

Meanwhile, Fatima Ganduje-Ajimobi, a daughter of All Progressives Congress(APC) acting national chairman, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has debunked reports of his death.
The former Oyo Governor, she said, is alive.
There had been apprehension over the health of Ajimobi with some media organisations reporting he was dead.
But Ganduje-Ajimobi, in a tweet on Thursday evening, said: “Thank you for all the messages but our father is still alive, alhamdulillah. When it is our time we will all die so wait first…”
