The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has reconciled most aspirants who contested its recent House of Assembly primary election, with the aspirants pledging to work for the party’s success across the state’s 32 constituencies in the 2027 general elections.

The development is being seen as a significant step towards rebuilding cohesion within the party ahead of the 2027 elections, particularly after protests and grievances reportedly followed the conduct and outcome of the House of Assembly primary that produced the party’s candidates for the election.

In a communique issued on Sunday at the end of the reconciliation meetings by the Chairman, Oyo State APC House of Assembly Reconciliation Committee, Alhaji Mufitau Adisa Gbayawu, Co-Chairman, Bisoye Fagade, and Secretary, Barr. Dr Rotimi Okeowo, the party noted that: “Substantial progress has been made in resolving the issues and grievances arising from the exercise.”
