The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore has expressed optimism that the Ondo state Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, would soon return to the state to continue attending to the development needs of the people.

Omisore made this statement during a solidarity visit to Akure, the state capital on Friday.

He explained that there should be no need for apprehension regarding the governor’s health status but emphasized that the governor only needs to rest.

Omisore clarified that the recent wish and prayer of the National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, for the governor had been misinterpreted. He stated that Adamu never said the governor is incapacitated but lamented that some sections of the press chose to be mischievous and reported something else.

He said the APC Chairman had only urged people to pray for the quick recovery of the governor.

He assured that the national secretariat is in alignment with the State and will always offer support when necessary.

In his response, the Acting Governor, Hon. Lucky Ayedatiwa, expressed appreciation to the visiting team for their solidarity.
