The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State has said that the lingering political crisis in the state would soon be resolved, urging political gladiators and stakeholders to be circumspect in their utterances and actions as regards the political development in the state.
This came shortly after some elders of the state led by the National Leader of the Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, called on President Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Umar Ganduje to wade into the crisis.
In a statement issued by the state Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr Alex Kalejaiye, on Wednesday, the ruling party made it known that the faceoff between the executive and legislative arms of the government is being critically examined by the combined teams of national and state leaderships of the party.
According to the statement, the party expressed optimism that the situation would soon be resolved to wade off avoidable political tension and engender a friendly atmosphere, ahead of the governorship election.
Part of the statement read, “The party expressed appreciation to various stakeholders, particularly the respectable elders in the state for their concerns, words of counsel, and prayers, assuring that the storm would be over soon.
“It is imperative to urge stakeholders to pursue peace with maturity and civilised conduct. Protests and violent agitations, as being contemplated by some groups, can only lead to personal injuries.
“We should be reminded that security agents would not condone destructive conduct under whatever pretense. We should be well guided. The ruling party commended the good people of the State for their peaceful disposition thus far, and their resolve to resist relentless efforts, aimed at dragging them into unproductive agitations.”
