The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has constituted a reconciliation committee to address grievances arising from the party’s recently concluded primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The committee, made up of party elders and prominent stakeholders, was announced on Sunday in a statement issued in Ibadan by the state APC Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare. The initiative is aimed at fostering unity and resolving disputes among aggrieved aspirants and other party members.

According to the statement, the committee will be inaugurated later this week by the state APC Chairman and former Deputy Governor, Moses Adeyemo. Its primary responsibility will be to engage aspirants who purchased the party’s Expression of Interest and Nomination forms but did not emerge as candidates for various elective offices.

Members of the committee include Senators Olufemi Lanlehin, Brimo Yusuf, Hosea Agboola and Akin Oke; former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Prof. Afolabi Oladapo; Idris Adeoye; Pa Timothy Jolaoso; Olukemi Alao-Akala; Adebayo Adewusi; Gunju Ojo; and Adekemi Opatunde.

Other members are Abisoye Fagade, Kamorudeen Ajisafe, Abu Gbadamosi, Isiaka Alimi, Niran Adeyoju, Yinka Folarin, Emmanuel Olaoye, Mufutau Adisa, Sule Ajibade, Prof. Abideen Olaiya, Dayo Lawal, Ibrahim Bolomope, Mabel Williams, Jelili Agboola, Kehinde Oloya, Goke Oyetunji, Ramota Okemakinde, Raji Rasaki, Segun Ajanaku, Shakiru Fagunwa, Abduwaheed Lawal, Esther Adedokun and Obatunde Oladapo.

Sadare said the committee would consult widely with party stakeholders, particularly aspirants dissatisfied with the outcome of the primaries, in a bid to resolve lingering complaints and strengthen cohesion within the party.

He expressed optimism that the reconciliation effort would restore harmony and position the APC for a successful outing in the 2027 general elections.

The development comes days after the party’s governorship candidate in Oyo State, Sharafadeen Alli, received his Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nomination form and unveiled Adesoji Adedeji as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
