The campaign organisation of former deputy governor of Osun State, Dr Iyiola Omisore, on Monday, said the current efforts at facilitating a reconciliation meeting between the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and Omisore in a bid to resolve their political differences have been allowed to drag on for too long.
The campaign organisation stated this in reaction to the meeting facilitated by former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande, to reconcile Omisore and Oyetola.
The spokesperson of Iyiola Omisore campaign organisation, Jamiu Olawumi who spoke with The Punch, lauded Akande for facilitating the reconciliation meeting which was held in Abuja on Sunday.
Sources said the Abuja engagement followed an earlier meeting between Omisore and leaders of the Osun APC Elders Council in Ile-Ife, where certain demands were reportedly presented to the party by the former senator.
Olawumi, said the group had yet to be formally briefed on the outcome of the meeting but expressed confidence in Akande’s efforts.
“We are aware there was going to be a meeting, and as a campaign organisation within the party and an organisation peopled by patriotic party members, we identify with our principal, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and we also trust the national leader of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, for his effort to bring about peace and tranquillity that will move the party forward.
“We have not been briefed by our principal, but for the optics, when we saw the three of them together, we must be happy that there will be peace, even though the current effort is too belated. It has been allowed to drag,” Olawumi said.
He added, “For five months, we were surprised that the leadership of the party and all the parties concerned would allow the misunderstanding to fester for five months in an election year. We thank Baba Akande for his resilience and commitment to bringing peace to the party.”
