APC Gives Chairman 7 Days Ultimatum To Resign

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has issued a seven-day ultimatum to suspended Chairman, Mr Issac Kekemeke, to resign or face the consequences.

The demand followed recommendation by a three-member fact-finding committee headed by Mr Abayomi Adesanya, to investigate the ongoing crisis in the party.

The report of the committee was submitted to the State Executive Committee (SEC) of the party in Akure.

The Committee had on June 1 passed a vote-of-no-confidence on Kekemeke, suspended him over alleged misconduct.

He was immediately replaced by Chief Ade Adetimehin as acting chairman.

The report reads: “The evidences were thorough, coherent, straightforward, cogent, compelling and very convincing.

“However, the committee recommends, that in the spirit of reconciliation and party unity, Mr DI Kekemeke should resign within seven days as the chairman of APC in Ondo State.

“This will be from the date of submitting and adoption of this report by the State Executive Committee.

“Where he fails and refuses to voluntarily resign within the time limit, his action or inaction should be taken as removal from office, in pursuant to Article 21(D) (I) (e) of the APC Constitution as amended.”
