Genuine Kwara APC Members Must Save The Party From Leeches – Bashr Bolarinwa

Chairman of Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bashr Bolarinwa, has talked about the political crisis troubling the party in the state.

Bashr said APC has been hijacked by “political parties marauders” in the state and things are getting out of hand.

According to him, every genuine party member has to now unite to save the party from leeches and serial killer jobbers.

He added that there is a clear disconnect between the state governor and the party and APC elders.

His words, ”Ladies and gentlemen, the soul of our party is being threatened by political marauders. We call on all genuine party members to join us in the tortuous task of saving our party from leeches and serial jobbers.

“At this juncture, we need to reiterate that, contrary to the norm, there is gapping disconnect between the governor and the party and between the governor and revered party elders.

“This scenario has been in place after the party primaries, during and indeed after the polls. We were also part of the success of the governor at the election petition tribunal and we went to Government House to congratulate him and even took pictures with him but these aggrieved party executive went back on the second day and told the governor that, they are for the governor and his support group called “AA” support group and since that time, they decided to exempt themselves from the main stream of the party executive in the state”

“Severally party elders had tried to wade into the matter by meeting with the state party chairman, Bashr Bolarinwa, Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Muhammed and the governor.

However, a follow up meeting with the governor to resolve the areas of differences has not been possible because the governor has refused to grant audience to the elders”.

“Reference to a cabal within APC led by Alhaji Lai Muhammed is petty, childish and laughable. They are afraid of their own shadows, and in going down, they are willing to pull any strands with them. The APC will outlive many of them. If the memories of these aggrieved people are short, we cannot be accused of same. The struggle to win election was fierce and challenging. During this period of tribulation, it was only Alhaji Lai Muhammed that we saw, he sponsored sensitisation programme, provided logistics and other such supports requested from him. He stood by us and together we navigated the rough roads to victory. This is not news to our traducers; the only choose the part of mischief.”
