A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara, Alhaji Umar Aiyelabegan, on Wednesday declared that the party would sweep the polls during the 2019 general elections.

Aiyelabegan told newsmen in Ilorin that Senate President Bukola Saraki would be "humbled" even in his Ajikobi Ward in Ilorin West Local Government Area of the state.

He said Saraki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would be defeated because the people were resolute in rejecting the senate president as a political leader in the state.

Aiyelabegan is from the same Ajikobi Ward as Saraki

"APC is going to win the state in the 2019 elections and Buhari is going to be the president.

"Every candidate of the APC will be victorious over their opponents during the elections," Aiyelabegan said.

According to him, the major objective of the party is to rescue the state from "a particular family that has held the entire state to ransom for over two decades."
