Kwara cabinet: Party chieftains fight over slot in Ilorin
 
    
Chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in Alanamu, Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State are now set to fight dirty among themselves over the choice of a commissioner to represent them in the state government.
APC had last month requested each of the 16 local government areas in the state to field three nominees out of which one would be selected for appointment in the state cabinet.
The party had warned that such nominees must reflect representations of the women, youth and party loyalsts.
It would be recalled that immediately Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed was returned elected for a second term, APC leader in kwara State and Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, who is also the governor’s godfather had declared that only the governor and his wife were sure of their positions in government.
He dismissed any feelings by individual members, no matter how influential, to get easy patronage from the government by way of appointments.
However, in Alanamu Ward in Ilorin West, home of Saraki, the choice of who to nominate had become a war among party members with Hon. Moshood Mustapha, a former member of the House of Representatives on one side and the rest of the other members on the other side.
Mustapha was said to have imposed one Mr. Abdulrasaq Abosioyeniyan on the members as his choice to become commissioner calling the bluff of members reported to be elders of the party in the ward.
The electronic as well as print media in the state were awashed with the bluff of the former federal lawmaker, who was to have told aggrieved APC members “to go and wait for their time.”
The matter as at the time of filing this report yesterday was still a contentious issue in the area engendering local tension.
