The Kwara State All Progressives Congress (APC) Reconciliation Committee has submitted its report to the state working committee of the party.
Recall that the party had on 3rd July 2026 set up the five-member committee, chaired by retired Col. AbdulWahab Ademola Lawal to resolve internal disputes following the party’s primary elections.
Presenting the report at the party’s Secretariat in Ilorin, Col. Lawal appreciated the Governor and the party executives for their trust and for giving them an enabling environment to operate.
He said the committee had invited all the aggrieved members in the course of their findings and provided them with a level playing ground to ventilate their grievances, a step, he noted, aided their work.
Col. Lawal said that the committee, however, got assurances of the members to remain in the party and to “not go back to Egypt.”
“I want to say that on the mandate given to us we received the blessings of His Excellency (Gov AbdulRazaq), and the Party Chairman made it clear to us that: “please allow everybody to vent their anger and sentiments and also do what is needful,” he said, adding that the report would go a long way to resolving the disagreements.
“We made it clear to them that this is a family affair; no one is outside the family. All of us are together and in a family. But there are bound to be disagreements and therefore they should see us as mediators.”
Responding, the State APC Chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, thanked the committee for their “thankless” efforts, and pledged that the state leadership of the party would do everything humanly possible to do justice to the report.
He described Col Lawal as highly disciplined and a diplomat per excellence, adding all members of the committee are people of integrity.
“When we go through the report of the committee, we will do all that is humanly possible to make sure we remain as a family. We are appealing to all that are aggrieved to await the actions that will be taken after the presentation of the committee’s report,” Fagbemi said.
Other members of the reconciliation committee are the Assistant Comptroller of Immigration, AIG Ahmed Abbas, Engr. Musa Yeketi, Dr. (Mrs.) Oluwatoyin Opawoye and Hajia Kubura Kassum.
At the brief event were some senior government officials, elders, and executives of the party.
