A gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Paul Akintelure, is dead.
He had earlier raised alarms over direct and indirect threats to his life.
“Initially, I hope these incidents would dissipate over time, yet regrettably, they have escalated to pose a serious threat to my life,” he said on the 21st of March.
“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.”
Akintelure was the deputy governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) with Rotimi Akeredolu when they contested against Former Governor Olusegun Mimiko, the then Labour Party flagbearer, who won the election.
