Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Yasin confirmed that both Ejiogbe and Auxiliary camp have agreed to work together for peace to reign in the union in Oyo State.
According to him, “We have worked out modality to resolve the issue, and the modality was that each of the faction will bring nine (9) persons from their respective camps. This will make it 18 men who are going to be saddled with the leadership of the union for the next four years.”

Yasin reiterated that the 18-man leadership structure will run the union in full capacity, adding that they will be inaugurated as soon as the proscription order on the union is lifted by Makinde.
The union President emphasised that both sides have agreed with the conditions given to them.
He, however, thanked Makinde for his quick intervention to avert breakdown of law and order in the state, pleading for the lifting of the proscription order.
In his remark, Ejiogbe said he was satisfied with the agreement since it was in the interest of peace.
Corroborating Ejiogbe, Auxilliary advised members of the union against fighting one another, threatening that anybody who foments trouble would be arrested and booked.
