  The Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led nine-member National Reconciliation Committee of the All Progressives Congress has, so far, received 35 petitions from aggrieved members over the last Ward, Local Government and State Congresses. The Chairman of the Committee disclosed this after a meeting in Abuja, on Tuesday.
