Lagos APC Constitutes Peace And Reconciliation Committees

The National Working Committee of the All Progressive Congress APC has upheld the suspension of Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki for alleged anti-party activities.

It could be recalled that APC Edo State chapter has on Wednesday suspended the governor for alleged plans to decamp to the People Democratic Party PDP ahead of next year’s gubernatorial election in the state.

The party disclosed this in a press statement issued on Wednesday by the its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Lanre Issa-Onilu in Abuja.

He noted that the party’s state working committee had fulfilled the required conditions after it reviewed the process that led to Obaseki’s suspension.

He said “The meeting of the NWC, which held today, at the Party’s National Secretariat received a notification of the suspension of the Edo APC Chairman, Anslem Ojezua by 11 of 16 members of the Edo Working Committee (SWC).

“We have reviewed the process they followed and conclude that they have fulfilled the required conditions.

“We therefore uphold the suspension of the Edo APC Chairman, Anslem Ojezua while we await the outcome of the fact-finding and reconciliation committee.”

He however, lamented that the various steps the party had taken to resolve the political crisis in the state’s party had not yielded positive result.

Lanre said “We note that this is happening in spite of the various steps the party has taken to find an amicable resolution.

“We recall that party leaders such as the Chairman, Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF), Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti and Chairman, Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF), Gov. Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi and other eminent party leaders, had all tried at various times to ensure that the issues do not escalate.

“Sadly, these interventions have not yielded desirable results.

“However, the immediate concern of the NWC is how to ensure that unity returns to the ranks of the party in Edo.

“In achieving this, we have decided to constitute a high-power fact-finding and reconciliation committee of party leaders to meet with all disputing parties to ensure that all issues are addressed and resolved.”
