Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state has insisted Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq is behind internal crisis rocking the party in the state.

A faction of the party led by the Deputy Chairman Abdullahi Samari however exonerated the Governor from the internecine intra-party wrangling in the state.

But in a statement, Financial Secretary and Treasurer of the party, Mohammed Shola Tajudeen and Alhaji Dantala Yaro, said some members of the party who recently attended a parley with the State Government on behalf of the leadership of the party did not have consent to do so.

The statement said: “Our attention has been drawn to a parley held between the state governor, represented by the secretary to the state government, members of the state house of assembly and a group of people purported to be the leadership of the APC in kwara state.

“For avoidance of doubt, we affirm unequivocally that the state chairman of the party in kwara state is Hon Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa. In line with the provisions of the party’s constitution, the deputy chairman can only represent the chairman at any official function at the behest of the chairman. The claim that the leadership of the party attended the said parley is spurious and unfounded as the group of people who supposedly attended the occasion did not represent the leadership of the party and did not have the instruction of the chairman to do so.

”The continued hobnobbing with these group of people by the state governor and his appointees to the neglect of the state chairman has given a clear indication that not only is the governor behind the crisis in the party,he is the one fuelling it.

“We, the treasurer and financial secretary of the party are the custodians of the party account and therefore know the true position of the account.” stressing that, “any accusation of financial wrongdoing against the state chairman is merely a figment of their imagination. The state chairman is of an impeccable character.”

The statement also accused some members of the executives, who claim to have disagreement with the state chairman of not raising it at any of their executive meetings before they absconded.

“Their claim that the crisis is internal is untrue to the extent that they are the protagonists who are internally motivated from the day they gave themselves up for the divisive politics and manipulation of the governor at a price.

“The intention of the group is very clear, they decided to pitch their tent where their bread will be best buttered QED. In the process they are destroying the house they helped to build without any qualms or any thought of the place of posterity as the best judge of all our actions.

“The aloofness and silence of the governor to their destabilizing activities lend credence to his support for them,” the statement said.

APC and crisis are 5&6

I'm not surprised cos any party built on lies and deceit always end in crisis as we are seeing.

The way APC is going down soon they discover oil in their domain

It seems apc structure is crumbling fast in almost all the states . And yet the battle for the presidential ticket hasn't fully started ,by the time the whole thing reaches 2021 December , the party may be near total collapse ,if the present rate of crisis isn't abated

From kwara to Edo to Abuja, its like the house built on lies is crashing. Apc as a party is built on lies and propaganda, affliction shall not rise up the second time.

Saraki and his camp will takeover Kwara in 2023.
