Akintelure, on Thursday, March 21, 2023, said, “Initially, I
hope these incidents would dissipate over time, yet regrettably, they have
escalated to pose a serious threat to my life.

 

“The threats against me only strengthen my resolve to stand
up for what is right and just. I will not allow fear to dictate our path
forward.

“Let us embrace peace, progress, and unity. Our collective
strength lies in our standing together as one, regardless of our differences.”

 

Recall Akintelure ran as the deputy governorship candidate
of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) with Rotimi Akeredolu (the incumbent
Ondo State governor) against Olusegun Mimiko, the then Labour Party flagbearer,
who won the election.
