APC leaders reconcile warring parties in Uhumnwonde LGA

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State last week Wednesday announced the resolution of the crisis in the party in Uhumwonde Local Government Area of the state, commending the leader of the party in the council, Mr. Charles Idahosa, for his cooperation.

The resolution was sequel to the recommendation made by the Senator Domingo-led committee, which investigated the alleged anti-party activity levelled against a former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Samson Osagie and 30 others during the September 28, 2016 governorship election in the state.

The Committee however called for peace in the interest of the party and urged Osagie to lead others to meet Idahosa who is the leader of the party in the council and make peace.
Consequently, the Secretary of the party in the state, Mr. Lawrence Okah, former Deputy Governor of the state, Mr. Lucky Imasuen, last weekend reconciled both groups at the residence of Mr. Idahosa where they all promised to bury the hatchet for the interest of peace.

Okah, who disclosed this to The Edo Times, said: We are happy it is over now and we want to thank our brother, Mr. Idahosa for receiving his children and has promised that all is well. We are happy for the humility shown by all the parties and I can tell you all is well now in our party in Uhumwonde.

Idahosa, who also confirmed the reconciliation to The Edo Times said: We are one now in our party in Uhumwonde and I am happy to inform the leader of the party in the state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and the governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki, that we are all ready to assist him to move the state and the party forward. Osagie is my brother, we are all brothers who have worked together for years and we will continue to work for the best of our party”.
