The All Progressives Congress Aspirants (APC) for the upcoming governorship election in Ondo State, Paul Akintelure, has reportedly died.
Recall that before Akintelure’s death, he had revealed some concerns regarding the various threats, both direct and indirect, that he had been facing.
However, despite his optimism that the alleged threats will subside and things will get better, Akuntelure gave up the ghost as the date for the APC governorship primary election, set for April 25, drew near.
According to a statement made available to journalists earlier through his spokesperson, Oladapo Akintelure, Akintelure on Thursday, March 21, 2023:
“Initially, I hope these incidents would dissipate over time, yet regrettably, they have escalated to pose a serious threat to my life”
The threats against me only strengthen my resolve to stand up for what is right and just. I will not allow fear to dictate our path forward.”
“Let us embrace peace, progress, and unity. Our collective strength lies in our standing together as one, regardless of our differences.”
