Key former legislators, including Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara and Rt. Hon. Patricia Etteh, are also members of the committee.

According to APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, the committee reflects the party’s commitment to inclusivity and broad representation of stakeholders from across Nigeria. He added that details of the formal inauguration will be announced in due course.
