Inaugurating the committee on Wednesday, the president said the All Progressives Congress was built on the ideals of progressive politics, broad-based participation, and respect for diversity of opinion.

“We must continue to be resolute that this democracy that we take in our hands must not fail,” he said.

“The committee will engage in strategic engagements and consultations to develop an all-encompassing, productive and result-oriented strategy that will stand the test of time.

“We shall implement a system that gives everyone, especially aggrieved parties, a sense of belonging, inclusion, with a renewed hope.

“Similarly, the committee will consider proactive measures and solutions to potential threats, in our conflict resolution approach,” Buni said.
