Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has described as shocking and devastating the death of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Paul Akintelure.

Akintelure died in the early hours of Tuesday and was a governorship aspirant in the party and was the Deputy Governorship candidate of the defunct ACN in 2012 in the state. 

Aiyedatiwa’s Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, in a statement, said the governor expressed his commiserations with the Akintelure family, the people of Okitipupa local government area, and the progressive fold in Ondo State. 

“Dr. Akintelure was a wonderful human being and was a core progressive. He was very consistent and loyal to the tenets of progressive politics in Ondo State and Nigeria.
