Omotoso died at a health facility in the early hours of Wednesday following a brief illness.

The politician, originally from Imesi-Ekiti, assumed the role of party chairman in October 2021 following a consensus reached during the congress held at the mini pavilion near the Fajuyi roundabout in Ado-Ekiti before his demise.

Before his election, he was the APC caretaker committee chairman in the state.

In 2023, the Ekiti APC chairman was kidnapped but fortunately regained freedom a few days later. The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, expressed deep sorrow, considering his passing a significant loss to the ruling party in a tribute issued in Abuja on Wednesday.

Morka also stated that his ideology and administrative acumen will be sorely missed.

He said, “The All Progressives Congress is shocked and deeply saddened over the death of Paul Omotoso, the Party’s Chairman in Ekiti State.

“Until his passing, Omotoso, an Imesi-Ekiti-born grassroots politician, was a seasoned lawyer and fine administrator who stood as a bastion of our progressive ideals. His exit is indeed a colossal loss to our great Party. He will be sorely missed.

“Our solemn thoughts and prayers are with his family, the state chapter of our great Party, the government and the good people of Ekiti State at this difficult time. We also extend our condolences to the Forum of APC State Chairmen over the demise of their colleague.
