Faction wants ward congresses in Kwara cancelled A faction of All Progressive Congress Nze – Jumbie (APC) in Kwara state has called for the cancellation of last Saturday’s ward congress for alleged manipulation of the process by the party leadership. The group claimed that the national congress committee from Abuja did not interacting with stakeholders across board instead opted to relate only with the Senator Bukola Saraki-led faction of the party.
The spokesperson of the group, Alhaji Muhammed B. Sakiwa, said the group still hold firmly to the assurance of President Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu but condemned what they described as antics of Saraki.
Further, it alleged that the exercise, which was held at the 193 wards, was characterized with outright rigging and manipulation therefore cannot represent the genuine will of the people. to weaken our political structure, undermine our political goodwill and render our members disenchanted and discouraged. Unfortunately, the national leadership has been recognising only Saraki-led faction to the exclusion and disadvantage of our group.

Meanwhile, the publicity secretary of the Saraki-led faction of APC, Sulaiman Buhari, denied all the allegations and insisted that there is not faction in Kwara APC.
