According to him, the committee’s objective is not only to resolve current disputes but to entrench a sustainable culture of dialogue, collaboration and shared responsibility that will keep the party united beyond the election period.
The inauguration is seen as a decisive move by the APC in Kebbi State to address internal wranglings, strengthen bonds among members and create a broad platform for collective engagement ahead of the forthcoming polls.
