By Ovasa Ogaga,

The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole has called for a meeting of the leaders of the two factions, in the leadership tussle tearing the Delta state chapter of the APC apart.

The meeting be hosted by the National Chairman and the Minister of State, Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, is to hold in Abuja at the chairman’s office.

ADVOCATE gathered from one of the invitee for the meeting who spoke on condition of anonymity, hinted that the national chairman called for a truce following a series of litigation and counter litigation that has arose from the congresses and the fight for the party structure.

The meeting, the source added is targeted at finding a political solution to the logjam, as stakeholders fears that legal option could put the party’s candidates at risk should the outcome of the court cases goes against NWC recognized faction.

It would be recalled that the two tendencies in the party headed by the state party leader, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor and Ogboru/Omo-Agege had been on a battle of supremacy on who controls the structure of the party in the state.

According to the source, “the national chairman having listened to other leaders within and outside the state, decided to play the role of a big father by hearing from both sides and finding a way of settling the issue in a win-win situation for both sides.

“He knows that winning Delta is a most and to win Delta, we must bring every stakeholder to the table, so, it’s going to be an all embracing reconciliation and Delta APC would come out stronger because both parties also are open for dialogue.
