A former Interim
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande, has said he did
not shun the campaign of the party for its governorship candidate in Ondo
State, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, contrary to reports in the media.
Akande, who spoke
through his media aide, Mr. Lani Baderinwa, in a statement issued on Friday
said he had been going abroad for medical treatment.
The former governor
of Osun State, said he decided to stay away from stress in line with the advice
of his doctors.
Apart from Akande,
President Muhammadu Buhari; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
and Governor Rauf Aregbesola were among those who were absent at the rally.
The statement read,
“Chief Bisi Akande has no reason to shun APC campaigns and rallies in Ondo
state because every APC aspirant that contested the Ondo state governorship
primary in September has always been his close associate and knew so well that
he (Bisi Akande) is being treated from one hospital to another in the USA, the
U.K. and in Nigeria since last April.
“He, according to
medical advice, is being asked to take things easy in the time being. Despite
that, as an APC respectable leader, he has been working behind the scene to
reconcile differences among the warring tendencies in the party.”
