Minister of Information and
Culture, Lai Mohammed has said he won’t contest the governorship elections in
Kwara State.
Mohammed explained that his
decision not to contest was anchored on the fact he is currently the leader of
the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state.
Featuring on Nigerian Television
Authority, NTA programme in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Saturday, the Minister
stressed that it won’t be wise for him to contest with the people he should be
leading.
The Minister noted that as the
senior surviving member of the party in the APC government from the State and
“as a result of the Tsunami that took place and unfortunately, Kwara State
happened to be the epicentre of that rebellion, I am not contesting election in
Kwara State.
“If I want to be the honest
broker, I must be above board, I must not be seen contesting with those I want
to lead, or those that look up to me. I can’t be fighting for the same thing
they are looking for”.
