Kwara APC: Ex-VC Leads High-profile Group to Resolve Disputes, Reconcile Aggrieved Members

In a bid to mend fractured relationships and rally support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election, a prominent group of Kwara indigenes has been formed under the leadership of retired University of Ilorin Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oba AbdulRaheem. The Kwara APC Peace Committee, established on September 17, aims to reconcile aggrieved members and promote the party's achievements under President Bola Tinubu and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

The esteemed committee comprises Abdulraheem, a former Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), alongside other distinguished figures such as Dr. Johnson Adewumi, a renowned educationist and entrepreneur; Hon. Issa Bio Ibrahim, a former Minister and Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly; Hon. AbdulGaniyu Cook Olododo, a former Secretary to the Kwara State Government; Oloriewe Raheem Adedoyin, a veteran journalist and member of the International Press Institute's Executive Board; Hon.

Benjamin Ezekiel Issa, a former Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly; Pastor John Dara, a member of Tinubu Shettina PCC; and Hon. James Jiya Kolo, a former Commissioner for Federal Character.

The committee intends to act as a conscience for APC leaders by addressing internal grievances and highlighting the accomplishments of the administrations of Bola Tinubu and AbdulRazaq. It has already reached out to various aggrieved leaders and stakeholders to encourage reconciliation and unite the party for the upcoming elections. Additionally, the group is actively seeking support for APC's gubernatorial candidate, Hon. Yakubu Danladi, and other party candidates in Kwara.

By fostering cohesion within the APC, the initiative strives to secure the backing of party stakeholders for the candidates and strengthen the party's position ahead of the general election.
