Don’t Politicise Adamu’s Comment On Akeredolu’s Health – Kekemeke

Following the statement credited to the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Abdullahi Adamu, over the state of health of Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the national vice chairman (Southwest) of APC, Hon. Isaac Kekemeke, has cautioned against politicising the statement.

Kekemeke, who said the APC chairman did not and could not have made such a comment, noted that genuine empathy and prayer by Adamu for a governor on the platform of his party was sensationalised and had become a subject of discourse.

In a statement signed by the Kekemeke in Akure, the Ondo State capital yesterday, he said the explanation by the APC state chairman should be enough to have put an end to the issues surrounding Akeredolu’s state of health.

Kekemeke expressed surprise that the issue was being discussed as a statement of fact.

According to him,  “I have been inundated with requests for clarification on the purported statement of the national chairman of our party, the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu on the state of health of the governor of Ondo State,  Rotimi Akeredolu, at the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) with state chairmen of our party held at the party secretariat on Monday.

 “I had thought that the explanation by the state government should have sufficiently ended any further discussions on the matter. I am surprised that it is still being discussed as a statement of fact.

“Governor Akeredolu’s name came up at the meeting when the national chairman was expressing his sympathy with the state chairmen of the party on the abduction/kidnap of their colleague, the Ekiti state APC chairman.

“He merely extended his solidarity with the people of Ondo State on the foreign medical trip of the governor and prayed for his quick recovery and recuperation.’’
