Action Group Crisis of 1962(causes)

Action Group Crisis of 1962 (Causes):

1. The Action Group Crisis started at the party\’s executive meeting in 1961. The crisis was caused by the personality dispute between the leader of the party, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his deputy, Chief S. L. Akintola who was also the premier of the Western region.
2. Another factor was that while Akintola, Ayo Rosiji and others favoured the AG\’s cooperation with the NPC controlled federal government, Awolowo was against this and preferred cooperating with the NCNC to remove the NPC from power.
