The Arewa Community APC, Lagos State, has restored peace and unity within its ranks following a landmark reconciliation meeting held under the leadership of the Apex Leader, Galadima Lagos.
The high-level gathering brought together State Chairman, Alhaji Sa’adu Dandare, BOT Secretary, Alhaji Shehu Sam Pam, and respected elders to address divisions that had unsettled the group.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the reconciliation was convened after internal disputes and verbal clashes among leaders threatened the cohesion of the Arewa Community APC. The Apex Leader expressed displeasure over the disunity, warning that such developments weaken the trust of members and jeopardize the collective progress of the organization.
At the meeting, the principal figures in the conflict — Alhaji Sa’adu Dandare, Alhaji Shehu Sam Pam, and Alhaji Kamba — were given equal opportunities to present their positions. Guided by the wisdom of elders, their dialogue uncovered the roots of the misunderstanding, opening a path to genuine reconciliation.
A symbolic highlight occurred when Alhaji Dandare and Alhaji Sam Pam exchanged a warm handshake before the gathering, signaling their renewed resolve to bury differences. Their embrace drew applause from elders and members, who hailed it as a turning point for peace and brotherhood in the community.
The leaders pledged to strengthen unity by discouraging derogatory remarks among their supporters. They reaffirmed the Arewa principle of “Uwa daya, Uba daya” — One family, one father — as the guiding spirit of the group’s progress in Lagos State.
In a decisive and unanimous resolution, the Arewa Community APC categorically disowned one Mr. Timi Joshua, cutting all ties with him and stripping him of any media-related role or recognition within the group. Elders declared that Joshua no longer speaks for, represents, or holds authority in the name of the Arewa Community APC. A new, credible, and responsible spokesperson will be appointed by the Apex body to safeguard the image and integrity of the community.
With these resolutions, the meeting ended on a hopeful note. The restored brotherhood has repositioned the Arewa Community APC, Lagos State, to serve its members more effectively and contribute meaningfully to the dynamic political landscape of Lagos.
