Ondo APC: State chairman sues for peace, reconciliation over Supreme Court ruling

The State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Mr. Ade Adetimehin has appealed to members of the party in the state to sheath their sword and build peace and conducive environment for victory of the party in the state.

Adetimehin who was reacting to the Supreme Court judgement over the case between Chief Olusegun Abraham and Arakurin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu described the ruling as a watershed and an opportunity for genuine reconciliation in Ondo State chapter of the APC.

The party chairman who further declared that there was no victor; no vanquished in the ruling, noted that the two parties belong to a family.

The court decision, he contended, has come at a critical moment when the party is exploring every democratic and lawful means to ensure enduring reconciliation of all the tendencies within the fold.

Adetimehin, according to a statement by the Ondo State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Alex Kalejaye, said the judgement created the elusive opportunity for Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and Chief Olusegun Abraham to unite for the development of the State chapter.

“Besides, the governor can now concentrate on policies that will further promote and enhance the delivery of dividends of democracy to the people of Ondo State”, he argued.

The party boss warned followers of the two leaders to desist forthwith, from fanning the embers of disunity.

Adetimehin assured that a formidable machinery for comprehensive reconciliation would be set up shortly after the election on Saturday to place the party on a new and stronger pedestal.

He commended the duo for exhibiting a high sense of restraint and maturity while the case lasted in court.

The Supreme Court, sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday struck out the suit instituted by Chief Segun Abraham against Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN.

The court held that Abraham failed to file his case within the stipulated 14 days after the cause of action.
