The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State is in mourning as its chairman, Paul Omotosho, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday after a brief illness. The Imesi-Ekiti native, actively engaged in political meetings on Monday, suddenly fell ill on Tuesday. Consequently, he was swiftly taken to a government hospital in Ado-Ekiti, where he succumbed to his ailment.
This marks a somber moment for the APC, particularly as Omotosho had recently faced adversity. In July 2023, he was kidnapped, an ordeal that lasted five days before he was eventually released. The circumstances surrounding his death after such a traumatic incident add poignancy to the loss.
Omotosho's demise leaves a void in Ekiti State's political landscape, and his contributions to the APC will be remembered. The party and the broader community mourn the loss of a dedicated political figure who faced challenges with resilience.
