A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Biodun Akin-Fasae has expressed concern over the current internal crisis besetting the Ekiti State chapter of the party.
Akin-fasae called on contending forces within the ruling party to sheath their sword and embrace reconciliation and peace efforts being pushed forward by party’s elders in the best interest of the state.
The elder statesman who spoke with newsmen on Friday in Ado-Ekiti, said warring members should explore the internal mechanism of the party in resolving their grievances rather than working for the downfall of the APC.
This, he said, could adversely affect the fortune of APC in the state and distract the Governor Kayode Fayemi-led administration in fulfilling its electoral promises to the people of the state.
Fasae explained that leadership of the party was aware of some concerns raised by members but assured them that reconciliation moves have begun for all members to be on the same page ahead of the 2022 governorship election.
According to him, “The house of this party must not fall , the walls must not be broken. We will not allow any body to desecrate the office of the governor and government the people of Ekiti brings into power.

“I want to advise our people and warring members to do less of talking in the public and support the government in giving back to the people of the state. We should not allow the platform of the APC to be weakened. Let everyone who is aggrieved approach the leadership of party to resolve all contending issues.”
The APC Chieftain stressed the state governor, Dr Fayemi has been fair to all part members since inception in 2018, saying everybody could not be appointed into government.
He added that elders in the party were concerned with events in recent time as regards the party in the last few weeks, assuring that, ” things will change very soon and you will see.”
He urged the governor as the leader of the party to extend hands of fellowship to the aggrieved by calling a meeting where all grievances will be discussed.
” We must say this that the governor is doing better now compared to the first term. Every aspects of the state is facity development, investors are in the state now, except some people are blind. However, we should encourage him to do better, there is room for improvement that is a fact, ” he said.
