THE opposition All Progressive Congress in Ondo State has set up a 23-member committee to resolve all differences ahead of next year general election.

Factions emerged within the party following its loss of the last governorship election in the state.
Speaking with newsmen in Akure, the state Chairman of the party, Hon Isaac Kekemeke, said the party has bounced back.

Kekemeke said those waiting for the death of the party “ will wait in vain”.
“We are doing a lot. Apart from our personal intervention and intervention of leaders, we have set up a reconciliation committee that is set to move from one local government to another and work towards where we have quarrels’’, he stated.

“It is natural that people will feel sense of loss if they did not win in an election and we are trying to do everything that we can to bring the situation under control.
“ This family misunderstanding is arising from the way our party chairman handled  the situation in those areas.

“Those who are banking on the disagreement within the APC will later have themselves to blame because all the various tendencies that are disagreeing all agree that it is time for their party to win and they are all working for the party’’.

Kekemeke noted that” it is only in two local governments that we have not fully reconciled, otherwise we have chairmen in 16 out of 18 local governments that are functioning’’.
The reconciliation committee, according to him, is headed by “Dr. S.B Akerele supported by Dr Taye Malumi and we have 23 members, all the local governments have their representatives in the committee and we have additional members’’.

Meanwhile, the party has put in place three committees: Publicity, finance  and legal.
Kekemeke, while inaugurating  the committee,  reminded members of the enormous task ahead of them and the need to live up to expectations and be above board in the discharge of their duties.
