It is with a heavy heart that we, the Diran Iyantan campaign organization, heard of the sudden and tragic death of our fellow APC governorship aspirant, Dr. Paul Akintelure. This news has come as a great shock to us all, especially to Prince Diran Iyantan, who was a close ally and friend of Dr. Paul Akintelure.
Dr. Paul Akintelure was not just a fellow aspirant, but a respected and beloved figure in our community. His dedication to the progress and development of Ondo State, particularly Ikale-land, was evident in all his actions and words. His untimely passing is a great loss to us all.
We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, children, and loved ones during this difficult time. We urge them to stay strong and take comfort in the fact that Dr. Paul Akintelure was a devoted Christian who has now gone to meet his maker.
It is troubling to note that Dr. Paul Akintelure had expressed concerns about his safety in the days leading up to his death. We call on the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding his passing and ensure that justice is served. The safety of all aspirants in the upcoming APC primary election must be guaranteed.
In light of this tragic event, we urge all aspirants in Ondo State to prioritize their safety and come together to sign a peace pact to ensure a peaceful and violence-free primary election. We call on Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to take the lead in this initiative and ensure that all aspirants and their supporters conduct themselves in a manner befitting of our democratic values.
Let us honor the memory of Dr. Paul Akintelure by coming together in unity and peace as we continue our political journey towards a better Ondo State.
May his soul rest in peace.
Signed,
Steve Joseph.
