\"Rotimi<\/p>\n

Omoyele Sowore, the 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has accused the family of the late Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, of hastening the latter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The Ondo State Government in a statement released through the State\u2019s Information and Orientation Commissioner, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, revealed that Akeredolu died on Wednesday after a long battle with prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

Reacting during an interview<\/a> on News Central, Sowore blamed Akeredolu\u2019s wife, saying, they were trying to use him to milk the state even when Akeredolu requested he should be taken to his hometown so he could rest amid his receding health condition at the time.<\/p>\n

According to him, Akeredolu\u2019s wife, brothers and family members flew him back to Nigeria from Germany just to use his presence to remove the then Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa (now Governor ) from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn saner climes, those behind Akeredolu\u2019s death will be prosecuted. You can\u2019t hasten the death of somebody and get away with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad that his family, some politicians, did this to him. There was no basis for bringing him from Germany to Nigeria \u2014 only for politics. And that might have hastened his demise. But regardless, cancer is not something you wish on anybody, especially when it reaches terminal stage, it was just a matter of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a matter of fact, from what I hear and I knew, he was given up to May 2023, were he survived a bit longer. Probably, he would have stayed longer if his wife (Betty) had not forced him to come back to try and use his presence to impeach his deputy (Lucky Aiyedatiwa), who today is the Governor of the State,\u201d Sowore said.<\/p>\n
