Oyo APC Forms Reconciliation Committee Ahead of 2027 Elections
The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated a reconciliation committee to heal divisions after its primary elections and the emergence of its 2027 election candidates.
Committee Members
The panel includes 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. Additional 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.
Mandate and Inauguration
The committee, set to be inaugurated this week by party chairman and former deputy governor Moses Adeyemo, will reach out to all aspirants who obtained APC expression‑of‑interest and nomination forms but did not secure the party’s ticket for any elective office.
Background on the Candidacy Announcement
Earlier, the APC unveiled Sharafadeen Alli as its governorship candidate and Adesoji Adedeji as his running mate for the 2027 election in Oyo State. The names were uploaded to the INEC portal by the party’s national headquarters in Abuja less than 24 hours before the announcement.
Reaction from the Adelabu Camp
The move, however, was rejected by the camp of former minister and governorship aspirant Adebayo Adelabu.
The reconciliation committee, upon its inauguration later this week, will be tasked with meeting all relevant stakeholders, including aspirants who are dissatisfied with the outcome of the recent primaries that produced the APC’s candidates for the next general elections.
Sadare
It is hoped that this effort will bring about the desired peace and unity for the party to record a resounding victory at the polls next year.
