The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state has confirmed the death of its Chairman, Paul Omotoso.
The Party, through its Spokesman, Segun Dipe, in a statement explained that the deceased was still actively in office on Tuesday attending to visitors and official matters.
The statement reads “We are sad to announce the passing of State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti, Barrister Paul Ayodele Omotosho.
“The sad news broke yesterday, Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at about 9.00pm.
“Barrister Omotosho was still actively present in the office same yesterday till the close of work. His death could not be immediately traced to any known sickness.
“He, however, complained of fatigue and slight fever at about 4.00pm and opted to go home to rest. He was to be rushed to the hospital later at about 7.00pm when the pain increased but gave up the ghost after.
“Barrister Omotosho will be remembered for the positive contributions he made to the party, especially during his tenure as the Chairman from 2018 to his last breath. He ran the affairs of the party commendably.. with victories at the poll.”
It was, however, gathered that the late chairman’s health deteriorated last year, shortly after he was released by kidnappers, who abducted and kept him for five days before his release.
