Paul Akintelure, the governorship aspirant of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo State, has died on Tuesday morning just days after alleging threat to life.
Last Thursday, in a statement, Paul raised an alarm over an alleged threat to his life ahead of the governorship election four days ago.
“Initially, I hope these incidents would dissipate over time, yet regrettably, they have escalated to pose a serious threat to my life.”
The medical doctor was confirmed dead in a hospital in Lagos after he battled chest pain for about four days.
Confirming his death, the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Alex Kalejaiye, while speaking to newsmen said; “It is true, I can confirm it. We would issue a statement about it shortly.”
