The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State on Tuesday appealed to party elders to intervene in the lingering crisis arising from its recent primary elections.
The crisis followed the decision of some aspirants, who were initially declared winners of the senatorial and House of Representatives primaries, to institute legal action against the party over the alleged replacement of their names on the list of candidates submitted by the National Working Committee of the APC to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
As part of efforts to resolve the dispute, the state chapter of the APC inaugurated a reconciliation committee chaired by the Chairman of the Ondo State Oil-Producing Areas Development Commission, Mr Biyi Poroye.
In continuation of the reconciliation process, the state APC Chairman, Mr Babatunde Kolawole, on Tuesday led members of the State Working Committee on a courtesy visit to a party elder, former Deputy Governor of Ondo State and former Nigerian Ambassador to Uganda, Chief Omolade Oluwateru.
