The decision was reached during a strategic stakeholders’ meeting held on Sunday in Igbokoda, where party elders and key stakeholders gathered to address internal disagreements and strengthen unity within the party.

Sources at the meeting said deliberations centred on reconciling aggrieved members and reinforcing the party’s structure ahead of future political activities.

At the end of discussions, participants unanimously expressed confidence in Tawose’s leadership, citing his long-standing involvement and contributions to the party over the past decade.

They also urged dissatisfied members to embrace dialogue and work collectively in the overall interest of the party.

Responding, Tawose thanked the stakeholders for the renewed confidence and pledged to run an inclusive leadership.

He assured members of his commitment to promoting unity, transparency, and sustained progress within the party.
