Kwara APC War: Lai’s Man Survives For Now

Against the background of a failed move to remove him as chairman of the caretaker committee of the Kwara State chapter of the APC, Hon. Bashir Bolarinwa on Monday successfully inaugurated caretaker committees to oversee affairs of the party at the state, local government, and ward levels.

The successful inauguration came a day after en Elders Committee allegedly inclined to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq made fresh moves to repudiate Bolarinwa’s position in the caretaker committee of the state chapter of the APC.

Remarkably, the inauguration of the caretaker committees was witnessed by representatives of the faction aligned to the governor including the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

The event according to one stakeholder meant that Bolarinwa has the chairman of the caretaker committee of the party despite earlier musings by those inclined to the governor.

It also meant victory for Alhaji Lai Mohammed under whose aegis Bolarinwa emerged as chairman.

Speaking at the inauguration on Monday, Bolarinwa in calling for unity among the tendencies in the party said:

 “You will recall that at the onset here too, we put our differences aside and won a historic election that will forever remain a reference point in the history of elections in Nigeria.

“This is the time to be forward looking as we will soon approach another election. We cannot afford to do so as a divided house.

“We cannot afford to betray the trust reposed in us by the people of the state in 2019,” he said.

Bolanrin called on party members to prepare for the forthcoming registration and revalidation of membership.

He also urged them to mobilise for full participation in the Continuous  Voters Registration (CVR) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Bolarinwa was Dec.11 sworn in as the state APC caretaker committee chairman in Abuja by the National Chairman of the Caretaker Committee for the party.
