On Tuesday, word went round that the governor had been hospitalized after a mild stroke, claims he has strongly condemned.

The Council of Governors also rubbished those claims, terming them as fake news and maintained that Nanok is in good health.

“Let us ignore the FAKE NEWS about HE @GovernorNanok's health. H.E Josphat Nanok is well and is currently at his home having dinner with his family,” read a tweet on Tuesday evening.
