Ajimobi, while speaking after the meeting held behind closed doors for over three hours, said that the party was ready for any of the aggrieved members that is ready for reconciliation.
He however pointed out that internal crisis is not peculiar to Oyo APC.
Ajimobi said, “What we discussed is politics. We are ready for those who are ready for reconciliation. There are some that are reconcilable. There are some that are not reconcilable. Those who are reconcilable, we will reconcile with them.
“God created all of us, we will be fighting and we will be settling it. You can see, some are coming back now. Some of them have come back. That is what politics is all about.
“But the best thing in our party is that we use to reconcile. All the political parties also have their own problems. Other political parties also have their own problems. But in our party, there is room for reconciliation, you can see that some of them are still coming back.
