“Thank you all for your concerns and prayers.”
Aivoji was kidnapped at the Ogere area on the Ibadan-Lagos expressway in Ogun State on Thursday, January 25.
He was returning from the PDP South-West zonal meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, when he was abducted by gunmen on the highway.
The abductors had earlier contacted his family, demanding a N200 million ransom.
Amode, however, said he could not confirm whether or not there was any payment before the party chairman’s release.
He thanked security agencies and government officials who, he said, facilitated Aivoji’s freedom.
