Akeredolu Not In A State of Extreme Incapacity- APC

The national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has refuted a media report credited to its National Chairman; Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on July 11, 2023, when he was quoted to have said that the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu was in a state of extreme incapacity.

Reacting to the report through a statement that was made available to the media, the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore said that the headline; “Akeredolu in state of extreme incapacity, hospitalised”, “bore a tinge of the usual mischievous, wicked and insensitive reportage, sponsored by desperate politicians.”

Omisore stated that the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu “was indeed excited at the reports on the rate of recovery of the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON, and urged all those present at the meeting to pray for his quick return.

“It, therefore, smacks of mischief and unabashed abandonment of professional ethics for a reporter to present this gross misrepresentation, a mischievous twist, as news. At no time did the National Chairman mention that the Governor was in a state of “extreme incapacity” in the meeting of 10th July 2023 or anytime for that matter.”

He explained that Akeredolu is “evidently, not in any critical state that should warrant this clearly reprehensible conduct as he still sent a post to the Executive Council Committee platform yesterday.”

“Members of the public are advised to ignore this news as the contents therein exist in the realm of the imagination of workers of iniquity.

“Mr. Governor is NOT incapacitated. He will return to his duty as soon as the doctors certify him fully fit to do so,” he said.
