Many years after, loyalists of late former governor Lam Adesina on Tuesday reunited at his Felele, Ibadan home of the politician.
At the meeting which was attended by representatives of former commissioners, lawmakers and close associates of the late progressive leader, they agreed to work for the success of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.
It would be recalled that an unresolved leadership tussle within the progressive party in the build-up to the 2019 elections had halted the meeting for many months.
A communique read by former caretaker chairman of Egbeda local government, Barr. Fatai Akinsanmi and jointly signed by representatives, said they decided to meet so as to enhance better progressive politics in Oyo State and consolidate good governance as exemplified by successive progressive governments in the state.
According to Lamists, as they are fondly called, they agreed to reconcile themselves, adding that everyone should return to their various constituencies to start mobilisation of more active members for APC for future electoral success.
They also commended the leadership of the APC in the state for what they described as effective and efficient administration of the party from the local to the national levels, advising that and everything should be done to avert future rancor within the progressive fold.
