- Oyegun says it's a very unique situation.
The Longstanding rift between Governor Yahaya Bello and Senator Dino Melaye of Kogi State is about to come to an end.
According to reports from Punch, a seven member committee has been set up by the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun to speedily resolve the issues.
Recall that Senator Melaye has previously claimed that the Governor hired assassins to take his life and also hired constituents to recall him from his senatorial position.
The committee is made up of the following members; Gen. Idris Garba(retd.), Chief Don Etiebet, Patricia Etteh; Group Capt. Rufai Garba(retd.), Alhaji Umar Lawan Kareto, Group Capt. Joe Orji (retd.) and the party's deputy national secretary, Mr. Victor Giadom (secretary)
John Odigie-Oyegun said whilst inaugurating the committee "The situation in Kogi is unique. And we want to give every possible opportunity for a settlement. What triggered the events in Kogi was very tragic in their nature.
"So for us as a party, we are bending over backwards to say, yes we understand your feelings; we understand what you have been through; we understand the work that you have put in to get the APC elected; we understand also that God who disposes of power, brought somebody at the last minute to be the beneficiary of all the work and labour that everybody obviously has put in."
