Other members of the committee include; Olugbon of Orile-Igbon in Surulere, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Oba Olusola Alao;  Senator Biodun Olujimi, who represents Ekiti South senatorial district and minority leader of the Nigerian Senate; Toyin Saraki; Segun Awolowo, a grandson of Chief Obafemi Awolowo; Doyin Okupe, Chief Gbenga Daniel, former Governor of Ogun State and Mr Muyiwa Ige.
