The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has been urged to intervene in resolving the salary crisis in the nation's South-western states .

The Bishop of the Anglican Church in Omu-Aran, Kwara, Rt. Rev. Philip Adeyemo, made the call in his charge to the third session of the second synod of the church which held over the weekend.

He also advised Tinubu to handle issues of attack against him with tact, particularly as it relates to his succession.

"We appreciate the doggedness of Tinubu in the evolution into the governing party and his support for the emergence of General Muhammad Buhari towards winning the March 28, 2015 presidential election.

"We want the Asiwaju not to rest on his oars; to do something to stop unnecessary attacks on his succession; a situation which we feel many are taking advantage of to get your sympathy for political reasons. As an elder statesmen and Asiwaju, please, take not for sure the attacks are on your personality.

"We want the leader of the APC to do something about the many salary arrears owed civil servants in some APC states in the South-west."

The cleric explained that members of the diocese were against recent calls for another national conference just as they called on the Kwara State government to do something about the poor remuneration of local government workers and teachers in the state.
