TAKES A BOW
Greetings to the good people of Ondo State and beloved supporters of DPA, It is with deep sadness, heavy hearts, and total submission to God that we painfully announce the passing of Dr. Paul Akintelure, aged 61, who until his untimely death was a medical doctor, philanthropist, and an aspirant for the gubernatorial position of Ondo State under the All-Progressives Congress (APC) party.
Dr. Paul Akintelure departed from us early this morning in Lagos, leaving behind a legacy of service, dedication, and commitment to the people of Ondo State.
Dr. Paul Akintelure was not just a politician; he was a visionary leader who believed in the
potential of Ondo State and its people. Throughout the peaceful conduct of his campaign, he advocated for positive change, economic development, and social progress, promising
a brighter future for all citizens.
As a family, we understand his sudden enigmatic demise has left a void in our hearts, that
of his friends, associates, supporters, and political loyalists. It is in light of this, we seek calm and, most importantly, your prayers, as we jointly pray for the repose of the soul of Dr. Paul Akintelure.
DPA’s passion for public service and his unwavering determination to make a difference will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and may his legacy continue to inspire us all to strive for a better tomorrow.
May the soul of Dr. Paul Akintelure, through the infinite mercies of God, Rest in Peace. Amen.
