Kwara State chapter of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday threatened to jail one Bashiru
Bolarinwa, who is parading himself as Caretaker Chairman of the party, and his
agents.
The state chapter of the party
issued the threat while describing Bolarinwa’s alleged action as “unlawful”,
adding that he is “walking the road to jail.”
This was contained in a statement
issued by the spokesperson of Kwara APC, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari.
The statement reads: “It is a matter of public record that the issue of the leadership of All
Progressives Congress is settled with the affirmation of the Kwara State High
Court that the Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani-led State Executive Committee (SEC)
has a constitutional mandate of four years that will elapse by 2022.
“The public is also aware that in
the suit number KWS /292/218, filed before the court of Justice T. S. Umar, the
judge granted an expressed order that restrained Mr Bashiru Bolarinwa and his
agents from parading themselves or performing any function or duty specified
for members of the executive committee of the APC either individually or
collectively as members of the executive committee of members of purported
caretaker committee of the APC in Kwara State.
“In spite of the above-stated
court order, the attention of the leadership of APC in Kwara State has been
drawn to reports indicating that Mr Bashiru Bolarinwa is still parading himself
as chairman of a caretaker committee the court of law has dismissed as unlawful
and non-existent.
“As a matter of fact, Kwara APC
has a chronicle of unlawful actions of Mr Bolarinwa and his agents. Such
unlawful actions constitute contempt of Court. By their unlawful actions, they
are walking the road to jail.”
Buhari also declared that “Mr
Bolarinwa has neither legitimacy nor authority to act on behalf of the All
Progressives Congress in Kwara State. We invite the media, the general public
and particularly all members of APC in Kwara State to note this fact.”
He said, “All members of APC in
Kwara State should know that Kwara APC has no plan to reconstitute executive
committees at the ward and local government levels. Party members should
continue to work with the present leadership of the party at the ward and local
government levels. Party members are enjoined to shun plans by an impostor to
organise unlawful congresses at the ward and local government levels.
“Finally, Mr Bashiru Bolarinwa
and his agents have been warned. They can continue to evade, hide and run.
However, they cannot run away from the long hand of justice.”
