SACK OF
KWARA APC EXECUTIVE: BUHARI BLASTS OSHIOMHOLE
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in
Kwara State has rejected and dismissed the purported
dissolution of party executive at the ward, local government
and state levels by the national chairman, Adams Oshiomole.
It said the action of the National Working Committee (NWC) was not
only outrightly unlawful but also null and void.
The position of the party was contained in a statement by its
Publicity Secretary, Sulyma Buhari.
The State Executive Committee is perceived to be loyal to the
President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
Buhari said in the statement: “We confirm that there is no case of
lacuna in the party leadership in Kwara State and there was no ground for the
purported dissolution. Thus, the NWC erred in law. Furthermore, the purported
dissolution is null and void.
“We recall that for many weeks, party members worked assiduously
and painstakingly to elect party leadership at the ward, local government and
state levels in Kwara State. The party structure was certified as duly elected
by the National Working Committee of APC. The duly elected party structure in
Kwara State cannot be overthrown or dissolved by an unlawful declaration from
Abuja.
“Considering the inglorious role played by Comrade Adams
Oshiomole, he has lost the respect of the leadership and members of APC in the
16 local government areas and 193 wards of Kwara State. He has destroyed his
human rights credentials. It is crystal clear the emerging dictator is always
willing to trample on the rights of other party members whenever his personal
interest is involved.
“While the party will exercise legal means to protect the
constitutional mandates of the party leadership at the ward, local government
and state levels, we wish to reaffirm that the Alhaji Ishola Balogun Fulani –
led State Executive Committee (SEC) remains the only authentic and lawful
leadership of APC in Kwara State.
“Despite the distraction from Abuja, the Alhaji Ishola Balogun
Fulani – led State Executive Committee (SEC), the party leadership in the 16
local government and 193 wards of Kwara State shall continue to discharge
constitutional functions. All members of the APC in Kwara State should remain
calm as we devise legal measures to guarantee the protection of their rights.”
