Also speaking at the meeting, the committee’s chairman, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, said the party was ready to address its challenges for effective repositioning to enable it to wrestle power in the 2027 general election.
He said: “The main purpose of the committee is to reach out to the aggrieved members and those having issues, to re-establish a formidable political party in the country.”
Nigeria’s bleeding – Fintiri
Agreeing with Oyinlola, Fintiri described the reconciliation committee as timely, considering the lingering problems bedevilling the party.
On the nation’s leadership, Fintiri expressed frustration with the economy.
He said power is a divine privilege, so it must be wielded with trust and responsibility.
“Nigeria is bleeding. We are suffering, there is too much anger, and the economic policy is not working.
“That is why we always call on the Federal Government to reconsider some of these economic policies that are only putting hardship on Nigerians.
“Whatever will make us cry must not be part of your policy because the country belongs to us. It does not belong to the World Bank, IMF, or the international community.”
He urged the Federal Government to focus on policies that do not bring further pain to Nigerians.
