The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje has intervened into the impeachment saga of the Ondo state Deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa by the state’s Assembly over alleged misconduct.
While announcing this in a statement on Thursday, Mr Edwin Olofu, Ganduje’s Chief Press Secretary quoted the Chairman to have set up a nine-man committee to intervene in the crisis rocking Ondo State Government.
He said the committee which would be under the leadership of Aminu Masari, a former governor of Katsina State would also see to the peaceful reconciliation of all parties involved.
“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 faithful.
“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 said.
He assured the party members that the committee would interact and dialogue with all its stakeholders in the state based on mutual respect, with a view to finding a lasting solution to the crisis.
He urged all parties to remain calm and to extend all the necessary cooperation and support to the Masari-led committee.
