Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Ade Adetimehin has urged the populace to keep praying for Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, who has recently struggled with health concerns.

What the people of the state currently need, according to Adetimehin, is prayers for the governor to recover swiftly, accusing the opposition parties of allegedly politicking the governor’s health situation.

This was said by the chairman on Sunday in Akure, the state’s capital.

He claimed that the governor’s health problem did not preclude him from resuming his official duties as the state’s governor.

He said, “Some individuals and groups have taken it upon themselves to spread false news and rumors about his (Akeredolu’s) death. It is disheartening to see that some people would wish death upon a fellow human being. Such actions are unfair and should be condemned by all well-meaning individuals.

“The opposition has also been quick to malign the governor’s family, accusing them of not doing enough to take care of the governor’s illness. Such accusations are falsely disrespectful, flippant and callous.

“What Arakunrin Akeredolu and the family requires at this period is our support and prayers for the full recovery of their family patriarch. Arabinrin Betty Akeredolu and her children have been doing their best in taking care of the governor.

“We must continue to pray for the governor’s recovery and stand by the family in these difficult times. Akeredolu is a good man who loves the downtrodden and deserves all the support and prayers for a full recovery from his illness.”
