Ado-Odo/Ota APC Leadership Moves to Restore Unity, Appeals to Hon. Tunji Akinosi After Congress Dispute
PRESS RELEASE
Date: 23rd February 2026
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ado-Odo/Ota Federal Constituency today convened an emergency meeting to deliberate on concerns arising from the recently concluded Local Government Party Congress and subsequent developments.
Following careful and extensive deliberations, the leaders unanimously expressed deep sympathy and solidarity with Hon. Tunji Akinosi over the unfortunate incident that occurred at the Council Secretariat. The leadership unequivocally condemns the act in its entirety and describes it as regrettable and inconsistent with the principles of our great party.
In the spirit of unity and brotherhood that defines the APC family, the leadership collectively extends a sincere appeal to Hon. Tunji Akinosi for understanding and continued cooperation as elders and stakeholders work toward a peaceful resolution of all issues arising from the congress.
We acknowledge that intra-party differences are natural in a vibrant democracy; however, such differences must be resolved through dialogue, internal mechanisms, and mutual respect — never through confrontation or actions capable of dividing our ranks.
To this end, a structured reconciliation process has commenced, with apex leaders engaging all concerned stakeholders to promote healing, rebuild trust, and strengthen cohesion across the Ado-Odo/Ota APC. Our collective objective remains clear: to preserve party unity and position the APC for continued electoral success and service to our people.
The leadership also appreciates Hon. Akinosi’s willingness to allow the intervention of apex members to address the matter internally as a party affair, thereby avoiding unnecessary escalation or external interference.
We call on all party members, leaders, and supporters across Ado-Odo/Ota to remain calm, peaceful, and committed to the ideals of harmony and collective progress.
The APC in Ado-Odo/Ota is one family. Through dialogue, maturity, and unity of purpose, we shall overcome our differences and emerge stronger.
