The Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Paul Omotosho, has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu gave the party leaders a marching order to reconcile aggrieved members across the country.
  
Omotoso said that was what prompted the party’s visit to a former Governor, Chief Segun Oni, in his country home, Ifaki Ekiti recently, to plead with him to return to APC.
  
The APC chairman stated this, yesterday, when he received a former member of the House of Representatives, Bimbo Daramola, who left the party for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) where he contested for a seat in the green chamber during the 2023 general election.
  
Also received alongside Daramola were his over 1,000 supporters in his Ire-Ekiti Ward 2, Oye Local Council of Ekiti State.
   
Oni and Daramola were among the aggrieved party leaders that left the party in the wake of the crisis that rocked the state APC since 2019.
 
The party chairman, who described Daramola as an asset to the ruling party, declared that those who were against his return to the party he laboured to build were enemies of the state.
   
According to him, the party stakeholders in the state prevailed and begged him to return to the APC in view of his impact and the values he would add to governance in the state and country.

He maintained that the returnee had reasons to leave the APC last year due to the alleged injustice meted on him and his supporters, applauding him for listening to pleas to return to the party.
  
Omotoso stated that the state Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, was determined to engage and collaborate with every stakeholder towards delivering his six-point agenda to the people.
