Giving an insight into what transpired at the reconciliation meeting, the source said none of the aspirants made any specific demand from Aiyedatiwa as a condition for truce. Describing them as “important, tested and knowledgeable personalities,” he advised them to put the shadow poll behind them. He said: “We are all practitioners in this game. I recall that I contested for governor of my state in 1999 and lost. I couldn’t become governor until 16 years after. So, I cannot call you losers. You are aspirants that would be successful tomorrow.”
“Of course, most of the aspirants will not be able to participate in his government, but they have people that will participate. They should allow them to make inputs. He should work with them to be able to move the state forward.”
