APC moves to save Ondo deputy gov, tasks Masari’s c’ttee

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has inaugurated a nine-member committee to resolve the feud between Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, and his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Akeredolu has been in a frosty relationship after he returned to Nigeria following a medical treatment abroad.

The governor, after his return, sacked the media aides attached to Ayedatiwa’s office.

The Ondo State House of Assembly has also begun impeachment proceedings against the deputy governor.

However, the APC chairman while inaugurating the ‘reconciliation committee’ for Ondo State, on Friday, October 6, 2023, said their terms of reference include “To interface and engage with all contending partner(s) with a view to gathering facts and circumstances surrounding the lingering impeachment process of the deputy governor.

“To advise the party on the most amicable ways of handling the lingering issues leading to the impeachment process of the deputy governor.

“To make necessary recommendations to the party on resolution of issues and any other matter that may come up in the course of the assignment.”

The committee chaired by the immediate past governor of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari, has Liman Abbas as Secretary.

Other members of the committee are the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola; the deputy governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat; and Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar.

Others include Sen. Tilley Gyado, Sen. Ita Giwa, and Sen. Tokunbo Abiru.
