2023: Osinbajo, Lawan, Amaechi’s Absence Stall APC Reconciliation Meeting

The absence of major presidential aspirants who contested against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday stalled the reconciliation meeting in Abuja.

Also governors Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), Ben Ayade (Cross River) and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) were invited.

Others were Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; former Ogun State governor and Senator, Ibikunle Amosun; Senator, Ajayi Boroffice; former Zamfara governor, Ahmad Sani Yerima; former Imo State governor, Senator, Rochas Okorocha; a former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole; Pastor Tunde Bakare; Pastor and Businessman, Dr. Nicolas Felix; former Information Minister, Ikeobasi Mokelu; Businessman, Tein Jack-Rich and the only female among them, Uju Ken-Ohanenye.
