“At the end of the day, we will broker peace and we will unify the party and Nigerians,” Fintiri asserted.
On his part, Mimiko said an agreement is in sight, hinting that the committee would meet to broker peace.
“We have agreed that there is a need for us to enhance unity within our party.
“This is a reconciliation process, there are some issues out there which needs further deliberation when the committees meets again,” he said.
