The development, exclusively reported by The Gazelle News, saw the Secretary of the Governance Advisory Council, Mutiu Are, appointed as Chairman of the committee.
Also named as Secretary of the committee is Olayinka Adekunle, who currently serves as Special Adviser to the Governor on Works.
According to the report, the committee will coordinate the administrative and operational framework for the conduct of the party’s primary elections across the state.
The list, obtained on Saturday, May 9, 2026, also revealed the composition of several strategic sub-committees expected to handle planning, mobilisation, media engagement, security and special assignments during the exercise.
