National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, on Tuesday, held a closed door meeting with a delegation of aggrieved lawmakers of the Ondo State House of Assembly and members of the reconciliation committee set up to douse tension over the planned move to impeach the state’s deputy governor, Lucky Ayiedatiwa.
Stern-looking security operatives escorted the delegation, which arrived at the APC National Secretariat at about 1.25 p.m. in a large convoy.
The development is coming eight days after Ganduje established the committee to resolve the political impasse between the warring parties.
The committee was charged, among other things, with interfacing and engaging with all contending partners to gather facts and circumstances surrounding the lingering impeachment process of the Ondo State deputy governor; advising the party on the most amicable ways of handling the lingering issues, and making necessary recommendations to the Party on resolution of issues and any other matter that may come up in the course of the assignment.
Members of the Aminu Masari-led committee included the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola; Benue politician, Senator Jack Tilley Gyado; immediate past Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Tanko Al-Makura; former Governor of Ebonyi state, Martin Elechi and ex-Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar.
Agenda for the meeting had yet to be disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
