But for the intervention of Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and a former governor of the state, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, there would have been bloodletting during the ward congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Supporters of Amosun and Osoba across the state, at the wards congresses held, yesterday, reportedly engaged one another over the structure of the party at the ward level.

Tension was high at Igbore where a faction of the party held its congress while the other group held its congress at Freeman Methodist Primary School and elected  leaders for ward 13, Abeokuta North.

In a bid to forestall break down of law and order, Amosun and Osoba raced to the volatile areas and calmed the supporters.

Addressing the aggrieved members of the party, Amosun appealed to them to embrace peace, assuring  that all members would be allowed to vote.
