Inaugurating the committee in Osogbo, the former governor said Osun remains the home of the ‘Progressives’ in the South West, hence the need for the APC members in the state to take necessary and decisive steps to reposition the party and make it stronger and more formidable.

Other members of the Committee are State APC Treasurer, Hon. Femi Kujembola; Prince Kunle Ayantoye ; Hon. Mudasiru Toogun; Hon. Ipoola Binuyo; Hon. Emmanuel Folorunsho;  Hon. Akintunde Adegboye; Hon. Bade Falade; Hon. Idowu Falade; Hon. Gbenga Oladehinde and Hon. Olasunkanmi Akinola.

Speaking on behalf of members of the Committee, Prof. Adewole, pledged the Committee’s readiness to provide a credible pathway for reconciliation and rehabilitation of the party structure, administration and activities in the State.

“We’re charged to ensure an inclusive party that offers every member a space to thrive and prosper. We shall create rooms for all, especially the youth, and build a great future for this dynamic party. We, the committee members, firmly believe the party will become more potent after this exercise”, he assured.

In their separate remarks, Speaker Osun House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye, the State Secretary to the party, Hon. Alao Kamoru Olabisi; APC State  Youth Leader, Hon. Goke Akinwemimo among others urged members of the Committee to act to the letter by being fair to all.
