The aspirants unanimously resolved that whoever eventually emerges as the APC senatorial candidate from Patigi Local Government Area would enjoy the total support of all other contenders.

According to the communiqué, political ambition must not be allowed to divide the long-standing brotherhood among stakeholders in the area.

The aspirants also appealed to the incumbent Senator representing Kwara North, , to respect the established zoning rotation within the district.
