Kwara APC resolves to hold fresh congress, as Party restates support for Buhari
By Bashir Adefaka
What appears to be the final decision of Kwara people to end the reign of the Saraki dynasty in the state may have kicked off as a resolution has been reached that the Balogun Fulani-led All Progressives Congress (APC) executive committee in the state be dissolved to pave the way for an all-inclusive congress.
Making this known in a statement on Sunday was Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, who rose from a minute held Oro, Kwara State, to inform of the new development.
According to the statement, Alhaji Mohammed said:
“A meeting of stakeholders in Kwara State, held at Oro, on Sunday, 29 July 2018, resolved as follows:
“That the Balogun Fulani-led Kwara APC executive committee be immediately dissolved and a fresh congress that will include all Kwara APC members and those who are just coming into the party be held at the various levels to constitute a new executive.
“That all those who got appointments by deceit, hiding under the facade of being party men and women, should immediately resign such appointments or be fired.
“That the recent gale of defections has now put the APC in a position of true majority in the National Assembly, as those who remain are the ones who are truly committed to the ideals of our great Party.
“That all members and supporters of our great party restate their unflinching support for President Muhammadu Buhari and assure him of a harvest of votes from Kwara State in the 2019 General Elections.
“That all members should remain calm because there is no cause for alarm.”
