Ahead of the July 12 local government polls in Lagos, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state has inaugurated a reconciliation committee to address grievances among aspirants and party members.
The party’s spokesman, Hon. Seye Oladejo, disclosed that the committee was constituted to resolve conflicts and dissatisfaction triggered by the emergence of candidates following the local council primaries.
According to him, the committee has been decentralized into four groups to enhance efficiency and ensure timely delivery of its mandate.
He said, “It will be recalled that there have been pockets of protests over the outcome of the primaries and several petitions submitted to the Appeal Committee.
Following a review of the Appeal Committee’s reports, the party has resolved to activate its internal mechanism for conflict resolution and reconciliation to ensure we approach the elections as a united front.
The committee has been decentralized for ease of operation and to deliver on its mandate promptly.
