The Chairman-elect of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Isaac Omodewu has called on leaders and members of the party to support members of the executive in its move to reconcile aggrieved members.
Omodewu in a statement on Sunday said APC can reclaim the state from the “present impostors and tenants at Agodi government house”.
He also promised to build on the solid foundation laid by the immediate past chairman, Papa Akin Oke.
