The political turbulence being witnessed in Kwara by the two leading political parties, PDP and APC took a new twist over the weekend as PDP faction of Barrister Akogun Oyedepo lay claim of the party structure in the state, saying they were never dissolved, suspended nor expelled for any anti-party activities.

The Kwara PDP faction led by Akogun Oyedepo affirm their loyalty and commitment of the party towards victory come 2019 and has since released names for major elective positions in the state.

The faction is fielding Rukayat Romoke Sheu as the candidate for the Kwara Central Senatorial district and Ramatu Bola Malik as the candidate for the governorship position.

Razaq Atunwa is the Saraki led PDP faction's governorship candidate.

You will recall that an Ilorin based High court last Thursday declared the Balogun Fulani faction of the APC as the legally recognized faction in the state based on similar reasons cited by the Barrister Akogun Oyedepo led PDP faction.

The judgement of the Ilorin High Court last Thursday has been faulted by the national working committee which installed the Bashir Bolarinwa Faction.


The National working committee of the APC presented Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq as the governorship candidate of the party to INEC. The Balogun Fulani faction governorship candidate is Kayode Omotoshe.


The Barrister Akogun Oyedepo led PDP have also initiated a court process against the legality of Saraki's led PDP executive in the state and seek that the court should compel INEC to stick with list submitted by only Akogun led executive which remains the only legally constituted executive.

The next few days no doubt would be days of courtesy and perpetual visit for the two main political parties in Kwara state as the 2019 general election count down begins.

fake news without no source. Akogun oyedepo is now in Apc, he decamped to Apc 5 months ago. there is no faction in kwara state pdp.

Akogun never left PDP officially and wasn't sacked at any point in time as Kwara PDO Chair. He remains the legal Chairman of PDP in Kwara state. This is a good one

He is the major opposition figure in Kwara. When Saraki was in the APC. When Saraki left, He tilted towards the new APC since their goals were aligned. But he never left PDP officially.

saraki is not smart at all.just a dumb fool that act without thinking. apc legally disbanded his apc led leadership in kwara but pdp didnt disband the current leadership in kwara pdp officially before handing the structure to him .
now that saraki want to stir up trouble in apc he has gotten uppercut from apc .
legally akogun remains pdp chairman until the Nwc comittee offically disband his faction meanwhile the high court judgement will be upturn by a federal court because apc legally disbanded balogun fulani led faction
