Lead us out of party, Kwara APC chairs tell Saraki

Ilorin Three senatorial chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state yesterday urged Senate President Bukola Saraki to take them to another party where the aspirations and yearnings of Kwarans would be met.
The three chairmen, Alhaji Jimoh Balogun (Kwara South), Alhaji Jimoh Adesina (Kwara Central) and Alhaji Isiaka Oniwa (Kwara North), said the call has become necessary because of the failure of the APC-led federal administration to meet the yearnings of the people.
They regretted that in spite of the Senate President’s tireless efforts to build the party and ensure that it provides the dividends of democracy to the people, the party has failed to make positive impact since 2015.
Spokesperson of the chairmen, Alhaji Balogun, warned the national leadership of the APC to make amends and right some wrongs in the party by stopping impunity and injustice in the party.
He added that they would quit the APC if the wrongs are not corrected even if Senate President Bukola Saraki insists on not defecting from the APC.” “Now that another election is on the way, Kwara State has considered it fit to implore Saraki to take us to a formidable party that would address the plights of the people if the ruling APC refuses to redeem its campaign promises.
“The perpetual persecution, humiliation and wanton destruction of the personality of the Senate President has been on the increase daily.
This has almost made him lose focus on his good intentions for the country.
“Dr Saraki had contributed immensely to the empowerment and well-being of the people of the state, yet he was recently accused of sponsoring a gang of robbers that robbed banks in Offa, Offa local government area of the state.
This is a calculated attempt to drag his name in the mud.
“The recent calculated attempt to disrupt the peace at the National Assembly is another eloquent testimony to destroy the person of the Senate President.
This unwholesome treatment is unwarranted and uncalled for”, he said.
