Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi FNIM, OON, the former Governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the last general election in Delta State, has vehemently denied the widespread rumor suggesting the demise of former head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (rtd).
In a statement released on Monday, October 9th, 2023, Gbagi, former Minister of State for Education, conveyed through his Chief Press Secretary, Orusi Kenneth, described the purported death as the result of “mischievous intent.”

Gbagi, former chairman of the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria, urged fellow Nigerians to disregard the baseless rumors surrounding General Gowon’s health, stating, “I personally spoke with him. I categorically refute the false reports of my friend, General Gowon’s death.”
He continued, “Gowon is not only alive, but he is also thriving.”
