The pioneer national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, has said that his absence at the rally of the APC governorship candidate in Ondo State, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, was not as a result of any resentment against the candidate or the party.
Akande said he had no reason to shun APC campaigns and rallies in the state, adding that Akeredolu remains his close associate.
In a press statement by his media aide, Mr Adelani Baderinwa on Friday evening, Akande said he could not attend the rally because his doctors advised him to avoid anything that would stress him in view of his health condition.
The APC leader expressed hope that the intraparty crisis in the APC would soon end as efforts are on to find lasting and amicable resolutions to the crisis. “Our attention has been drawn to publications in some media today, making unnecessary insinuations to Chief Bisi Akande’s absence at the APC governorship rally in Akure on Thursday.
