The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has constituted a reconciliation committee to resolve grievances arising from the party’s handling of the primaries and tickets for the 2027 general election.
To this end, the party has constituted a reconciliation committee headed by the Chairman of the Ondo State Oil-Producing Areas Development Commission, Biyi Poroye.
Some aspirants who were earlier declared winners of the party’s senatorial and House of Representatives primaries had instituted legal actions against the APC, alleging that their names were removed from the list of candidates submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission by the party’s National Working Committee.
One of the aggrieved aspirants and former Commissioner for Energy, Razaq Obe, had also warned that the crisis could affect the chances of President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the state during the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on the development at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Akure on Friday, the state APC Chairman, Babatunde Kolawole, said the decision to constitute the committee followed extensive consultations with the party’s leadership.
