The former interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande has said he didn’t shun the rally of the party’s Ondo governorship candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu.

Akande in a statement on Friday by his media aide, Lani Baderinwa said he has been attending to his health abroad.

The statement read, “Chief Bisi Akande has no reason to shun APC campaigns and rallies in Ondo state because every APC aspirant that contested the Ondo state governorship primary in September has always been his close associate and knew so well that he (Bisi Akande) is being treated from one hospital to another in the USA, the U.K. and in Nigeria since last April.

“He, according to medical advice, is being asked to take things easy in the time being. Despite that, as an APC respectable leader, he has been working behind the scene to reconcile differences among the warring tendencies in the party.”

President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu were also absent at the rally.
