The end is yet to be heard in the crisis which is rocking boat of the peaceful co-existence of the entire party structure of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Irepodun local government area of Kwara State.

The latest development is that the Chairman of APC Arandun ward reconciliation committee, Prince Shuiab Olanrewaju, has finally back out in the peace move and denied any involvement in the recommendations made by the committee.

Below is the post by Prince Shuaib Olanrewaju on a social media platform on Wednesday:

However findings by ROYAL NEWS revealed that six out of the eight-member committee signed the recommendations while the two remaining members couldn’t append the signatures because of the fact that they were at far distance as at that time.

According to the recommendations, “Arandun chairman (Mr Segun Atolagbe) should go on one month suspension without option. Mr Segun Atolagbe should beg all the Ward leaders publicly.

“Faction should be phased out of Arandun ward and there should be no more affiliation. The document with which Mr Segun Atoagbe registered the APC branded motor cycle as Okada express should be surrendered to the party.” READ ALSO:BREAKING…. Panel finally gives judgment on Atiku’s appeal

Other recommendations according to the panel are, “All APC properties in Mr Segun Atolagbe possession should be handed over to his assistant without further delay. All money realised from Okada express at 1000 naira per day from April 10, 2019 to September 30, 2019 should be remitted to the party’s financial secretary which will be handed over to the treasurer of the ward, and repayment should be made before the expiration of the suspension.

“For the clarity of conscience, the burnt machine should be brought to the meeting of the ward at Arandun. That the balance of 4,000 naira being the balance of the money kept with him should be handed over to the Assistant Treasurer. Matters affecting the party, members should learn to report the disagreement within the ward or local government to the executives therein and not take internal matters to outsiders.”

The panel further concluded that, “after his one month suspension and total compliance with all the conditions spelt above, the people of Arandun APC should consider him for reinstatement and re-absorption to his chairmanship position”.

When contacted, some members of the panel who spoke to our reporter disowned the Chairman for denying his knowledge of the recommendations stressing that they cannot spoil their integrity because of undue recognition.
