Idris Adeoye; Pa Timothy Jolaoso; Chief Olukemi Alao-Akala; Dr. Adebayo Adewusi; Hon.

Shakiru Fagunwa; Barrister Abduwaheed Lawal; Hon. Esther Adedokun; and Hon. Obatunde Oladapo.
Sadare said the committee would be inaugurated next week by the state APC Chairman, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo.
He explained that the committee’s primary responsibility would be to engage aggrieved aspirants, party members and other stakeholders with a view to resolving disputes and fostering unity ahead of the polls.
According to him, the committee will also reach out to all aspirants who purchased the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms but failed to secure the APC tickets.
“The Reconciliation Committee, upon its inauguration later this week, will be given the task of meeting with all relevant stakeholders, including aspirants who feel dissatisfied with the outcome of the recent primaries which produced APC candidates for the next general elections.
It is hoped that this effort will bring about the desired peace and unity for our great party to win big at the polls next year,” Sadare said.
