According to him: “The party condemns the violent attack on its stalwart, which led to his painful exist, at the time the party is warming up for its congress.
“Security challenge has been a major focus of the APC-led government in Ondo State for which so much has been done. The attack on Isibor and others has again underscored the need for every stakeholder to support the security initiative of the State Government to stamp out all forms of criminality.
“Praying for the repose of his gentle soul, the party condoles with the Isibor family, his community, and the APC fold in Ose, and indeed, Ondo State, asking God to grant us the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
