The Kwara State All Progressives Congress (APC) Reconciliation Committee has officially commenced efforts to mend internal divisions within the party, following tensions arising from its recent primary elections. Retired Colonel AbdulWahab Ademola Lawal, chairman of the committee, called on aggrieved members to prioritize dialogue over confrontation.
Col. Lawal, speaking in his official capacity, appealed to all party stakeholders to refrain from making inflammatory comments that could deepen existing rifts. According to a report by Vanguard News, he emphasized the importance of reconciliation, urging members to 'open their hearts' to dialogue as a path toward unity.
The committee's formation follows a period of internal discord, which threatened to undermine party cohesion ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.

The party leadership has backed the initiative as a critical step in restoring public confidence.
While no specific timeline has been released for the reconciliation process, the committee’s early actions signal a commitment to internal democracy and conflict resolution.
