Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state, on Wednesday, charged the Minister-designate from the state, Senator Tayo Alasoadura, to use his appointment to intervene and bring all factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state together.

Akeredolu who called on Alasoadura to use the opportunity of his appointment to unite and strengthen the APC in the state ahead of challenges, said the party cannot afford to allow undemocratic tendencies to prevail in the state

Akeredolu who stated this in a statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr Donald Ojogo, expressed optimism that the appointment of Alasoadura would go a long way to bring all the stakeholders together to build one strong political family.

Ojogo said in the statement that “the governor believes that the confirmation of Alasoadura by the Senate would go a long way in bringing together all stakeholders in the party irrespective of hitherto existing differences. The Governor believes strongly that Alasoadura belongs to all in the APC.

“When opportunities such as this come, there are bound to be straw-holding cleavages laced with the potency of further dividing or creating needless gulfs among leaders.

“A time like this is, therefore, the most desirable for leaders to display compassion, love, forgiveness as well as broadminded inclusiveness”

The statement read further “these are undoubted qualities in our minister-designate should dispassionately deploy to bring on board, all members of the APC in Ondo State.

This is more so that, as leader of the party in the State on whose shoulders the challenges of heightening the fortunes of APC rest, Mr Governor is further encouraged by the fact that Alasoadura’s complimentary leadership, alongside others, will create a more harmonious path to reconciliation”

“Akeredolu, therefore, counsels against divisive statements and utterances that are inimical to the enviable path to oneness in the APC. As far as Governor Akeredolu is concerned, the choice of Alasoadura is a collective victory for all in the state chapter of APC”
