WARRI — NATIONAL leaders of All Progressives Congress, APC, have intervened in the disagreement between the party’s flag bearer in the October 12 by-election in Delta Central senatorial district, Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor and lawyer/activist, Olorogun Festus Keyamo, who pulled out of the primaries last month.

Vanguard learnt that APC did not want to go into the election with a divided house and resolved that apart from the candidate, who had personally reached out to Keyamo, the party should approach him to sink his grievances and work for Emerhor’s victory.

To ensure victory for the party, National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed, and other national officers have been on ground in Delta Central in the last few days.

A reliable source hinted that the national Vice Chairman, South-South of the party, Chief Tom Ikimi and Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State also summoned a meeting, Wednesday, in Benin, to prevail on Keyamo to join forces with Emerhor.

A party leader said: “If not for the pressure from concerned party leaders, Keyamo would have gone to court to stop the candidate, but he was told to suspend his action in the interest of the party.”
