President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has inaugurated a Committee on Strategy, Conflict Resolution and Mobilisation to address internal disputes within the All Progressives Congress as preparations begin for the 2027 general elections.
According to a State House press release, the committee was inaugurated on Wednesday in Lagos and is made up of governors, members of the Federal Executive Council and other key party stakeholders.
The committee is chaired by Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, with former APC Legal Adviser, Muiz Banire, serving as Member Secretary.
Other members include Senator Adamu Aliero, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum and Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman AbduRazak, Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, Governors Hyacinth Alia of Benue, Umar Namadi of Jigawa, Bassey Otu of Cross River, Abiodun Oyebanji of Ekiti and Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta.
Also named as members are Governors Uba Sani of Kaduna and Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers, Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
Speaking at the inauguration, Governor Buni thanked the party leadership for the confidence reposed in him and other members, pledging total commitment to the assignment.
“The committee will engage in strategic engagements and consultations to develop an all encompassing, productive and result oriented strategy that will stand the test of time. We shall implement a system that gives everyone, especially aggrieved parties, a sense of belonging and inclusion, with a renewed hope.
“Similarly, the committee will consider proactive measures, solutions, and the potential threats in our conflict resolution approach,” Buni said.
He also cautioned members “not to allow personal interest and sentiments to override the general interest and purpose for which this committee is constituted.”
The press release recalled that President Tinubu had earlier stressed the need for unity within the governing party during the 15th National Executive Committee meeting of the APC held on Friday, December 19, at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
At the meeting, the President said, “We must continue to be resolute that this democracy that we take in our hands must not fail. We say we are bigger. We are larger and taller. But it should now be in our hearts to be accommodating. That’s the only way we can be resilient, we must be tolerant.”
The statement was signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, and dated December 24, 2025.
