Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says his
political structure in Kwara state remains intact and cannot be destroyed.
Lai spoke on Friday at the traditional wedding of his
granddaughter in his hometown.
The ceremony, which took place in the minister’s compound,
was attended by his political allies and supporters.
Reacting to a question on the presence of his political
associates at the ceremony, Lai said he never lost touch with them.
The minister said notwithstanding the disagreement in the
state All Progressives Congress (APC), his supporters and allies are still
loyal to him.
“I am glad you noticed that I have here today the same
people I have been working with in the last 20 years politically in Kwara,” he
said.
“Though they tried to pluck me away from them, we interact
regularly and we have almost become a family.
“I am not surprised
even though I am delighted that they turned out in their numbers today to share
with me in the joy of this occasion.
“What this means fundamentally is that there is no
difference politically between me and them and they still regard me as one of
their leaders and I still regard them as my associates.
“My political structure cannot be torpedoed because of
disagreement.
“That is the essence of political structure: when you are
strong enough to weather the storm that will necessarily come up, especially
when it is time to vie for political offices.”
