The presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Chief Adebayo Adefarati, is dead.

Adefarati died at about 1.30pm on Thursday at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State, where he was admitted on Saturday.

Family source said the 76-year-old former governor of Ondo State, whose condition was said to have started stabilizing on Tuesday, died as a result of complications.

His condition was said to have deteriorated in the midnight following which the medical team in the hospital battled seriously to save his life.

It was, however, gathered that the spirited effort of the team of the medical doctors at the hospital, led by a senior officer did not yield positive result, as the late presidential candidate died on Thursday afternoon.

Already, the body of the AD presidential candidate is said to have been deposited at the mortuary of the FMC.

Efforts to speak to the management of the FMC were, however, abortive as almost all the management staff were said not to be around when Nigerian Tribune called.

Besides, all calls put to their mobile phones were not successful, as the phones had been switched off.

Some of the medical doctors approached at the hospital for further information over the incident kept mum and refused to speak to the press.

Meanwhile, immediate family members of the deceased, including his wife, Adetutu and some of his children have also been moved to his home country, Akungba-Akoko.

The town wore a mournful look as the news of the death of Adefarati filtered into the community.

Residents of Akungba-Akoko, mostly students of the Adekunle Ajasin University gathered in groups to discuss the death of the septuagenarian politician.

The people expressed shock over the incident, saying that it was unfortunate that Adefarati died at this crucial period in the history of the country.

This is horrible news,
Did he not have a visa?
Did he not have a personal physician in the USA/UK/GERMANY/SPAIN?
Is the man not rich enough?
Why did the AD allow this to happen?
Could they not have hired an air ambulance and sent this man abroad?
I feel for the family,
I really feel for the family, I think the AD may have just proved a point, but why use thier presidential aspirant?
May the good Lord keep his soul and give his family the courage to bear this irreparable loss

I read on-line he was 79.
76 or 79, what is a man that age doing trying to run for presidency of a country like nigeria.

Is this your own solution to the problem of Nigeria's poor health care system? What happens to the common man who cannot afford visa application fees, cannot feed himself and is not a presidential candidate?

When our leaders begin to die in our glorified mortuaries also known as medical centers maybe they will channel some of their loot to helping our hospitals.

I assumed he was being sarcastic
