“I’m told that certain section of the social media reported that I have been flown abroad for medical treatment. When and how did that happen when I have been very busy treating hundreds of files on my table?
"The truth is that last Wednesday, I entered the washroom in my office and one of the tiles fell off from the wall and I had a minor cut on my head and I had two stitches and it was treated, and I was ok. People know I am a workaholic and that is why it didn't stop me from working, I am hale and healthy,” he added.
A source had earlier said that the governor was suffering from a blood-related illness.
