APC Calls For Caution Amid New Rumours On Governor’s Health

The chairman of the All Progressive Congress in Ondo State, Engr Ade Adetimehin has expressed shock over new death rumours concerning the ailing governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu lamenting that people were making politics out of the health challenges facing the governor.

In a statement issued by the party on Monday, the APC said that the present health challenges facing the governor are not expected to prevent him from resuming at the end of his medical leave due to end on  July 5.

GWG.ng reports that following a request to the State House of Assembly that the governor was granted a medical leave and power was transmitted to his deputy  Lucky Ayedatiwa, to act as the Acting governor.

Meanwhile, the development has been laced with intrigues with the deputy being accused of all sorts of allegations including battering his wife, issues some stakeholders allege were being raised to remove him from the state’s number one political office.

Reacting to new reports on the health challenges of Governor Akeredolu, the state chairman of the party, Ade Adetimehin, in a statement issued in Akure, the state capital, disabused the minds of the people of the state that the health condition of the governor was that terrible as to prevent him from resuming on July 6.

Adetimehin, in the statement signed by the party’s Director, Media & Publicity, Steve Otaloro, ” The governor of Ondo state, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has been battling health issues lately.

“It is pertinent to note that his health issue is not the too serious type that will prevent him from resuming his official position as Governor of Ondo State.

“Despite this, some individuals and groups have taken it upon themselves to spread false news and rumours about his death.

” It is disheartening to see that some people would wish death upon a fellow human being. Such actions are unfair and should be condemned by all well-meaning individuals.

“The opposition has also been quick to malign the Governor’s family, accusing them of not doing enough to take care of the Governor’s illness. Such accusations are falsely disrespectful, flippant and callous.

“Engr. Ade Adetimehin, APC chairman in Ondo State who is not happy with rumours being peddled around the health of Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, appealed for support and prayer for the governor and family,

“What Arakunrin Akeredolu and the family requires at this period is our support and prayers for the full recovery of their family patriarch. Arabinrin Betty Akeredolu and her children have been doing their best in taking care of Governor Akeredolu.

“We must continue to pray for the Governor’s recovery and stand by the family in these difficult times.

The party’s state chairman said that “Akeredolu is a good man who loves the downtrodden and deserves all the support and prayers for a full recovery from his illness.
