The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has inaugurated a 24-man reconciliatory committee to settle the disputes that arose from its congresses and primaries in the state.
Inaugurating the committee at the party’s state secretariat, Oke Ado, Ibadan, on Saturday, Oyo APC chairman, Mr Isaac Omodewu said the aim of the reconciliation committee was to ensure that APC in Oyo state was in one accord ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He noted that APC was one big family and expressed optimism that the little misunderstandings which emanated from the just concluded primaries would be resolved by the committee.
”You’re elderly and critical stakeholders of our party. We cannot give you terms of reference. All we want from you is to use your experiences and influences to resolve all internal wranglings within APC. The reconciliation is an ongoing process.
“Therefore, we will be expecting first situation report in two weeks time. There are issues from congresses and primaries. Please resolve all the differences,”
“APC will do all it takes to reclaim the Governorship seat next year. I charge our teeming members to cooperate with the committee to find amicable resolution to the crisis rocking the party” Omodewu said.
Reacting, Chairman of the reconciliation committee, Senator Lanlehin pledged to carry out the responsibility bestowed upon them with the best of their abilities.
