Oyo APC is committed to resolving post-primary grievances ahead of the 2027 elections

The All Progressives Congress in Oyo State has announced the formation of a reconciliation committee to address complaints arising from the party’s recent primaries.

The party said the move aims to resolve grievances among aspirants, stakeholders and members ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement issued in Ibadan on Sunday, the Publicity Secretary of Oyo APC, Olawale Sadare, said the committee will help strengthen unity within the party.

Sadare said the committee consisted of respected party elders, senior political figures and eminent citizens who would engage the aggrieved members.

According to him, the committee should meet aspirants who purchased expression of interest and nomination forms but failed to secure party tickets.

He said the reconciliation effort was necessary to rebuild trust, resolve internal disputes and position the APC for a stronger exit in the next elections.

The committee is expected to be inaugurated next week by the Oyo State APC Chairman, Chief Moses Adeyemo.

Members of the committee include Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, Senator Brimo Yusuf, Senator Hosea Agboola, Chief Akin Oke, Prof. Afolabi Oladapo, Mr Idris Adeoye and Pa Timothy Jolaoso.

Others are Chief Olukemi Alao-Akala, Dr. Adebayo Adewusi, Hon. Gunju Ojo, Dr Adekemi Opatunde, Chief Abisoye Fagade, Alhaji Kamorudeen Ajisafe and Abu Adejare Gbadamosi.

Also listed are Isiaka Alimi, Prince Niran Adeyoju, Alhaji Yinka Folarin, Chief Emmanuel Olaoye, Alhaji Mufutau Adisa, Alhaji Sule Ajibade and Professor Abideen Olaiya.

Also part of the committee are Mr. Dayo Lawal, Hon. Ibrahim Bolomope, Mrs. Mabel Williams, Hon. Jelili Agboola, Hon. Kehinde Oloya, Chief Goke Oyetunji and Hon. Ramota Okemkinde, among others.

Sadare expressed confidence that the reconciliation process will help restore peace and cooperation within the party.

He said the APC hopes the initiative will bring members together and strengthen the party’s chances of winning key contests in the 2027 polls.

The development comes as political parties in Oyo State continue their internal preparations ahead of the next election cycle.

The reconciliation committee is expected to play a key role in managing post-primary tensions and reducing divisions among party members.

Party leaders said the success of the process would depend on sincere commitment, fairness and the willingness of stakeholders to put collective interest above personal grievances.

The Oyo APC said it is committed to building a united platform capable of competing effectively in the 2027 general elections.
