BREAKING: Ondo governorship aspirant, Paul Akintelure, is dead

Paul Akintelure, one of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s leading governorship aspirant in Ondo State, has died.

Before his tragic death, Akintelure expressed anxiety about both direct and indirect threats to his life.

He had expressed hope that the situation would improve with time, but unfortunately, it intensified as the APC governorship primary poll set for April 25 approached.

Akintelure in a statement released by his spokesperson, Oladapo Akintelure, on Thursday, March 21, 2023, 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.
