ONDO State All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday described the crisis in its fold as “a mere storm in a tea cup” that will soon fizzle out.
It said the disagreement would be resolved naturally in due course, urging the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to face its factional crisis, which had produced two governorship candidates for one seat.
Speaking to reporters in Akure, the state capital, the APC spokesman, Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, said: “There is no crisis in our party.
“What we have is just a mere storm in a tea cup that will settle down naturally when the tea spoon is removed from the cup. The good people of Ondo State need not worry about it at all.”
He emphasised that the party is one big indivisible family, saying misunderstanding between an identical twin brothers would soon vanish.
Adesanya advised the PDP not to waste their time by making “a mountain out of a molehill”.
Rather, he said PDP should be preoccupied with the polarisation that has engulfed it, with near impossibility of having a single candidate for the November governorship poll.
The party, therefore, urged party members and leaders to go back to their trenches to begin mass mobilisation and campaigns for the APC, pending when campaigns committee and other organs are put in place across board.
