Senator Hosea Agboola, the chairman of the committee, and Diran Odeyemi, the secretary on Monday, June 1, cautioned party members against any antics targeted at genuine reconciliation in the party.
Agboola, a former lawmaker representing Oyo North went on to note that every member of the party is recognized in the PDP. He urged those who wish to rejoin the party to do so freely without encumbrances.
“The fact that former Governor Segun Oni has just rejoined the PDP is the greatest achievement of this committee. We are going to reach out to former Minister of Works, Dayo Adeyeye and others who left before the July 14, 2018 governorship election and bring them back to the party,” he said
