National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Iyiola Omisore has expressed optimism that Ondo Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, would soon resume duties.
Omisore said there was no need for alarm but prayers for the Governor to return after adequate rest.
He spoke in Akure when he met with the Acting Governor, Hon. Lucky Ayedatiwa,
The APC National Scribe who said he was on a “solidarity visit” said the twist in the wish and prayer of the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, was regrettable.
Omisore reiterated that the National Chairman never said the governor was incapacitated.
He explained that the visit was meant to dispel the misapprehension of Adamu’s statement
“Mr. Chairman only urged people to pray for the quick recovery of your governor; not on account of being incapacitated.
“Our visit, therefore, is to reinforce the position of the national secretariat that we only prayed for the quick recovery of Arakunrin Akeredolu SAN, and not otherwise”, Omisore stressed.
Ondo APC Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, who dismissed insinuation that the state chapter of the party was in crisis. said the party was united under Akeredolu’s leadership.
Adetimehin said there was no place for bickerings.
Acting Governor, Ayedatiwa, called on journalists to always cross-check, when in doubt, to avoid embarrassing and misleading people.
