After much deliberations in the meeting, Alhaji Kilani Orisawale was unanimously adopted as the Leader of the APC Orolu Elders Forum.
In his address, Rep. Olubukola Oyewo (Bukoy) said " The progress of APC Orolu is paramount to everyone present in this meeting and I am happy that after meeting several times we can finally say Orolu APC is One (United). We should all strive to abide by all the resolutions agreed on today and ensure our numerous followers also toe this line.
"This meeting was held with a view to having a common front and harmonious political atmosphere such that Orolu APC will be a vibrant and formidable partner; thus well positioned to benefit from dividends of democracy. This will also be a way of consolidating the progress witnessed by the State under the leadership of H.E Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
"We all are different; we always have, and always will be. Accommodation and reflections on differences of opinion are key ingredients of democracy. Rather than allowing these differences to be divisive, therefore we should harness the wisdom and strength in them and work together for the progress of our dear party particularly in our Local Government.
The lawmaker further said, "I would like to appreciate everyone present for their time, effort and commitment in ensuring that Peace and Unity prevails amongst all stakeholders in APC Orolu.
"Our leaders at the national level were very strategic when choosing the logo of our great party - The Broom, which stands for the strength in unity.
"As we all depart, let us ensure we are no longer separated in interest or divided in purpose. Let us continue to stand together so that we can work together and achieve success of the Elders Forum under the leadership of Alhaji Kilani Orisawale as endorsed today, the 3rd of July 2020.
"Once again, thank you for all sacrifices made to attend this meeting, and for working tirelessly towards achieving Peace and Unity in our dear party, APC Orolu.", he added
