Paul Akintelure, one of the prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant for the upcoming gubernatorial elections in Ondo State has reportedly passed on.
The Vanguard reports that, Akintelure had voiced his concerns regarding the various threats, both direct and indirect, that he had been facing prior to his unfortunate demise.
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.
In a statement made available to journalists earlier through his spokesperson, Oladapo Akintelure, Akintelure said: “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.”
The statement dated Thursday, March 21, 2023, added: “Let us embrace peace, progress, and unity. Our collective strength lies in our to stand together as one, regardless of our differences.”
