The All Progressives Congress (APC) has set up a committee to reconcile Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo and his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The relationship between Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa has been strained since the governor returned to the country after a three-month medical leave in Germany.

The lawmakers have asked Olusegun Odusola, chief judge of the state, to set up a seven-member committee to probe Aiyedatiwa.
