Victor Kolade Akinjo, a former three-term member of the House of Representatives, has underscored the urgent need for genuine reconciliation within the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Akinjo, who previously represented the Ilaje/Ese-Odo federal constituency, expressed his concerns regarding the ongoing crisis affecting the party in a recent interview.

Akinjo pointed out that the internal discord within the Ondo APC is detrimental to the party's unity and effectiveness. He highlighted that without a concerted effort towards reconciliation, the party risks further fragmentation, which could hinder its performance in future elections.

The former legislator specifically mentioned the role of the current Interior Minister, Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, in fostering peace and unity among party members. Akinjo believes that Tunji-Ojo's leadership is crucial in navigating the complexities of the party's internal conflicts and in promoting a collaborative spirit among factions.

Akinjo's call for reconciliation comes at a time when the APC is facing significant challenges in maintaining its cohesion in Ondo State. The party's internal strife has raised concerns among its supporters and stakeholders, prompting calls for immediate action to address the divisions.

The need for unity is particularly pressing as the party prepares for upcoming elections. Akinjo emphasized that a united front is essential for the APC to effectively compete against opposition parties and to regain the trust of the electorate.

As discussions around reconciliation continue, Akinjo's insights reflect a growing sentiment among party members that healing the rifts within the Ondo APC is not just a matter of internal politics, but a necessity for the party's survival and success in the political landscape of the state.
