'We do not accept Bukola Saraki as Kwara APC leader'

Date: 2013-12-17

We observe that the media did not correctly get our position as stated at our press briefing of Monday December 16, 2013. The popular caption in many of today's dailies to the effect that 'APC hands over party structure to Saraki in Kwara' is NOT our statement and was clearly not the message we intended for the public. It is a statement credited to Alhaji Lai Mohammed at a meeting we had with him during which we confronted him with some of the statements he reportedly told some people.

Whilst Alhaji Lai Mohammed is at liberty to dine and wine with anyone he so decides, our position is that we are not aware that the national leadership of our party has ceded control of the party structure in Kwara State to Senator Bukola Saraki. Our position, even when APC leaders were talking with the then G7, was and remains that we in Kwara APC cannot allow the party structure to be handed over to Saraki, and we backed our position with verifiable reasons. This is not about ego or not wanting to accommodate new entrants. It is about the nature of our struggle as a people in Kwara!

We therefore await the national leadership of our party, APC, to come out and tell the world that it has INDEED ceded control of the party structure to Saraki. And we urge the party leadership to do so through respected party elders and not Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

We are honourable people who stand by our struggle and resolve to not watch anymore while anyone claims 'divine' right to determine the future of our people!

Reverend Bunmi Olusona
APC Interim Chairman, Kwara State.
December 17, 2013.
