The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated a reconciliation committee aimed at resolving conflicts and grievances arising from its recent primary elections for local government candidates.

The announcement was made on Tuesday by the party’s spokesperson, Mogaji Oladejo, who said the party is committed to ending internal disputes within the next two weeks to present a united front for the upcoming local government election.

The primary elections had sparked protests and several petitions challenging both the process and results. In response, the APC has activated its internal conflict resolution mechanism to address these concerns.
