APC Crisis: Amosun, Osoba vow to fight on There appears to be no end in sight for the APC crisis in Ogun State as former Governor, Segun Osoba and Incumbent governor, Ibikunle Amosun failed to agree on settlement terms. The meeting was convened by the Traditional Ruler of Ijebu, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona. Awujale, who is also the Chairman of the Ogun State Council of Obas, held a secret meeting with the Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and national leader of the party, Chief Segun Osoba over the crisis rocking APC in the state in his palace in Ijebu Ode. It was gathered that the monarch summoned the meeting with the two gladiators whose supporters had been at logger-heads over the control of the party machinery in the state with a view to reconciling them, but it was deadlocked, as the feuding parties could not reach any settlement. Awujale was also said to have appealed to both Amosun and Osoba to call their supporters to order.According to the source, Oba Adetona at the meeting which lasted about four hours, reportedly told the feuding APC leaders of a need for them to sheathe their swords. The disagreement between the governor’s camp and Osoba’s loyalists recently resulted in violence in Abeokuta and Wasimi in Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state. In the Wasimi violence no fewer than nine persons, including the police orderly to Senator Gbenga Obadara sustained gun-shot injuries
