Nigeria, March 6 -- The Ekiti chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairperson, Paul Omotosho, has been reported dead in the early hours of Wednesday, following a brief illness.

Omotosho, an active participant in political meetings early in the week, was said to have complained about his health on Tuesday and was rushed to a government hospital in the state capital, where he later died.

One of the aides of Governor Abiodun Oyebanji confirmed the tragic incident but spoke off the record.

"Sad but true. I still saw him yesterday. This is really shocking. This sad incident reminds me of how I saw the late speaker, Hon Funminiyi Afuye, a previous day to his death. Life," the aide told Daily Trust via the phone.
