A notable governorship aspirant in the ranks of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Paul Akintelure, has died.
Akintelure was a medical doctor and hailed from Igbotako town in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Another Governorship Aspirant, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, hails from the same Igbotako.
Prior to his demise, Akintelure had raised alarm about threats to his life.
He had expressed hope that the situation would improve over time but sadly, it escalated as the APC governorship primary election scheduled for April 25 approached.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Oladapo Akintelure, on Thursday, March 21, 2023, Akintelure said: “Initially, I hoped 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 to stand together as one, regardless of our differences.”
