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.”
