He was said to have complained of feeling unwell on Tuesday, which caused him to be rushed to a government hospital in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, where he later died.

Confirming the APC chairman’s demise, the publicity secretary of the party in Ekiti State, Segun Dipe, said he could not give the cause of Omotosho’s death or any other information about the incident.
