But while Omololu asserted that a reconciliation meeting would be held at Fasoranti’s residence in Akure, a chieftain and former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, said she was not aware of any meeting scheduled for Akure.

The Socio-cultural Yoruba group are the only ones openly canvasing for a presidential candidate. Both the Nze-Indigbo and the Arewa Consultative forums, are yet to openly support or annoit any candidate.
