Press Release: My movement to the APC is final - Gov. Ahmed

Date: 2014-08-23

The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has dismissed the allegation that he has been lobbying the presidency to return to the Peoples' Democratic Party for the party's gubernatorial ticket as the mischievous machination of people devoid of any modicum of dignity but only out to rehabilitate their dwindling political relevance.

A statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Abdulwahab Oba, said "contrary to the report that Governor Ahmed was at the Presidentia Villa on August 6, 2014, where he sought audience with President Goodluck Jonathan for a possible return to the PDP, he was in Ilorin attending to serious state matters."

The statement alleged further that the intent of those peddling the rumour is to cause disaffection within the All Progressives Congress family in Kwara State as they feel threatened by the increasing popularity of the party in the State. "As they failed in their previous machinations, they shall not succeed in this latest bid to foist discord on the APC family. The APC in the state is a family bonded by solidarity and passion for service delivery rather than filthy lucre", the governor said.

For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Ahmed does not go to the presidential villa on private visits, except for official engagements such as the Council of State meetings and other official engagements, the last of such being on the 30th of July.

We reaffirm that the movement of our solid political structure in Kwara State to the All Progressive Congress was based on differences in principles and values that subsist to date. Hence, those pontificating on our return to the PDP are dreamers, the statement concluded.
