Tinubu has been having a running fight with Odigie-Oyegun over the Ondo primaries and had transparently required his expulsion in a distributed explanation.
Akeredolu, who professedly got the favors of some APC pioneers drove by Odigie-Oyegun and a few clergymen, won the primaries against Mr. Segun Abraham, the claimed favored applicant of Tinubu. The circumstance brought about the deserting of Mr. Olusola Oke, one of the APC governorship wannabes, to the Alliance for Democracy (AD) to seek after his aspiration.
As the emergency extends, there is gossip that the Abuja gathering is supporting Akeredolu while Tinubu, the Lagos section and a few partners in the South West zone are supporting Oke, an advancement a few people host depicted as hostile to get-together movement executed by the national pioneer.
It was learnt that whether the compromise meeting was to have been held a week ago or will hold today, Tinubu is not positively arranged to going to any meeting with Odigie-Oyegun.
A powerful gathering pioneer in the South West said: "I am not mindful of the last Tuesday meeting but rather I realized that the national executive required a meeting for November 8 and the welcome was reached out to a few pioneers including Chief Bisi Akande and Tinubu. What the plan is, I don't know however clearly the national pioneer is at present in Chicago and may not go to the meeting."
At the point when The Guardian looked for the suppositions of some South West APC pioneers on the issue, a significant number of them said the emergency was past what they would need to get themselves required in.
One of those drew closer, in any case, said : "Did you need me to let you know that a few people are included in hostile to gathering movement when I don't have any evidence? There is an emergency, yes, however it needs to do with the authority of the gathering. They will resolve it."
At the point when likewise inquired as to whether Tinubu would come back from his restorative excursion before the decision, he answered, "I am neither Tinubu nor Odigie-Oyegun. You can guide your question to them. I would prefer not to get included."

The best wager for him is to remain out of the nation until the Ondo race is directed."
It was likewise charged that a few pioneers of the Yoruba socio-social gathering, Afenifere are thoughtful to Tinubu over his situation in the APC and by so doing have chosen to give their favors to Oke, whom the national pioneer is professedly supporting.
In any case, the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin rejected the suggestion, saying he didn't know about such sensitivity.
"I don't have any enthusiasm for the Ondo governorship decision outside the way that the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) hopeful, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede was duped and his order exchanged to Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim under faulty conditions."
"That advancement talks volume about the sort of shenanigans Nigerians ought to suspect in the direct of the decision. I question if there will be a level playing field for every one of the contender to test their prominence before the electorate."
Odumakin who said he represented himself, facilitate denied having any sensitivity for the APC. "I don't have a place with their gathering and Afenifere is not into fanatic governmental issues," he said.
