Akeredolu must go - Ondo APC members insist despite Tinubu's peace moves -

The crisis rocking the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is far from over as some aggrieved members lamented that the recent meeting in Akure between the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, and party leaders was a wasted effort.

The meeting had in attendance former Interim National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande; former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba; Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, and his Ekiti State counterpart, Kayode Fayem.

Tinubu and Akande had said the aim of the meeting was to unite the party members in a bid to win future elections in the state.

But one of the aggrieved members of the party in the state told newsmen that “I don’t think Tinubu came to Ondo State to reconcile the warring factions, he came to reconcile with the leaders he has problems with. But obviously not to settle the Ondo crisis.

“At the meeting, Akeredolu was asked to expand his government to accommodate the aggrieved members and also to make the state executive of the party all-inclusive. What we want is for state executive to be dissolved and a caretaker committee put in place.

“If the two factions came up with certain terms for reconciliation but none of the terms was agreed upon at the meeting, so what are they reconciling? If they say the state exco should be all-inclusive, I say how does this work?”
