The move according to a Source was to prevent the Journalists from  having a glimpse into the contents of the report but another source close to the Committee members however revealed that the Committee findings were not favorable to the managers of the party in the State especiallly the Governor.

The Committee in its report, according to a source who attended the ceremony, said members toured the state and their findings revealed that  majority of party members are not happy with both the government and the party.

Many , the report said,  feel excluded and pushed aside after working very hard to ensure victory for the party at the poll in 2018.

According to the report , party members were reported to have loudly complained that the governor is not only far from the people , particularly the party members , but has not also allowed most party members and non party members to enjoy dividends of democracy. 

The Committee, in its report, frowned at the Balkanization  of party members into two, those loyal to Fayemi who are known as Tokan Tokan and those allegedly not loyal with all appointments , benefits and perks going to the few who are said to be loyal.

The Committee in its recommendation urged the governor to do something urgent so that the party will not disintegrate as many influential members are threatening to take their supporters to PDP.

The Chief Awe led Committee  said a process of reconciliation should begin immediately to forestall the return of PDP to power in the state. 

Governor Fayemi while addressing the Committee after submitting the report was qouted to have  said whatever they might have  observed was not deliberate  on his part. 

“There is no way I would want a party that has brought me up to this height to disintegrate,” He promised to act urgently to restore unity and sense of belonging back to the party. 

Other prominent members of the Committee are former Chairman of PDP now APC member Mr Ropo Adesanya, Former Commisioner in the old Ondo State and in Ekiti State  Chief Mrs Ronke Okusanya and retired journalist Chief Akin Fasae.
