The national chairman of the ruling All progressive congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has waded into the face-off between Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and his deputy, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Ganduje in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Edwin Olofu explained that the measure was in the best interest of the party.

He noted: “The National Secretariat of the Party is really concerned about the unfortunate political situation in Ondo State, which if not quickly averted, may lead to further disaffection among party faithfuls.

“Therefore, in order to avert the misunderstanding, and after critical observation of the situation, the National Secretariat has decided to
wade in, with a view to foster better understanding that may likely lead to amicable resolution.”

Ganduje thereby constituted a 9-Man Committee led by Governor of Katsina State, His Excellency, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari to ensure the peaceful reconciliation of the governor and his deputy.

The Party therefore assure that the committee will interact and dialogue with all the stakeholders in the state, based on mutual respect, with a view to finding a lasting solution.

The National Secretariat urges all parties to remain calm, and extend all the necessary cooperation and support to the Masari-led Committee.
