The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state, Barr. Paul Omotoso has passed on.
Omotosho died in the early hours of Wednesday after a brief illness.
The APC chairman attended political activities on Monday, but complained of fever the following day and was rushed to a hospital in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, where he died.
The state spokesperson of the party Segun Dipe, said Omotosho is dead but did not give more details.
The late Chairman had been experiencing failing health since his abduction by gunmen along the Imesi-Agbado road in July, 2023.
“It’s saddening that we lost our ebullient and committed chairman to the cold hands of death this morning, said a party member who does not want to be quoted.
“His death came as a rude shock to all the progressive families including the Governor Biodun Oyebanji. I am sure the secretariat will release an official report,” he said.
