The Ogun-East senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Dapo Abiodun, says he has initiated reconciliatory moves with aggrieved aspirants who rejected the outcome of the primary which held on Monday last week.

He said he decided to reach out to all aspirants in the district in order to pave the way for a smooth take off of the partys campaign ahead of the 2015 elections.

Abiodun said this during a meeting with party members at his home in the Ikenne Local Government Area, Ogun State, on Monday.

He said the parley was not organised to usurp the partys leadership role, but rather to fashion out some measures that would make the party approach the coming election as a united family.

Abiodun, who emerged winner of the partys senatorial primaries in Ogun-East with a landslide 2,500 votes, assured all aspirants who lost at the primaries of compensation.

He said, Let me thank all of you for honouring the invitation to be here at a short notice and more importantly for your support during the primaries. I have called for this gathering to assure all our aspirants that this will not be a case of winner takes all.

We will take care of everyone who contested and lost and we will get the party to also compensate them. Having said this, as faithful party members, we need to go back to our local councils, wards and polling units to sell the manifesto of our party to the people so that the masses can see us as one united family prepared to sweep the polls in the House of Assembly, House of Reps, Senate, governorship and presidential elections

He said all aspirants would be included in the campaign committees for them to be able to carry all their supporters along to join the campaign train.

House of Representatives aspirants who attended and made contributions at the parley were Dewunmi Onanuga from Shagamu, Babatunde Ipaye from Ijebu Igbo, Kunle Otun from Ijebu Ode, Teju Shote from Ijebu Ode and Gbenga Baruwa from Sagamu.

Another chieftain of the party, Tunde Oladunjoye, however, urged all members of the party to see Abiodun as the project of the party and ensure that he emerged winner at the polls.
