APC To Sanction Lai Mohammed Over ‘One Chance Government’ In Kwara – Chairman

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, easily the loudest voice in advocating the emergence of the All Progressives Congress, APC to government in 2015 is to face sanctions over his recent assertion on the emergence of a one chance government in Kwara State.

Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the party in Kwara State, Abdullahi Samari Abubakar disclosed this during a session with newsmen in Abuja.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the minister of information and culture had while opening the parallel secretariat of the party in Ilorin last weekend had disclosed how he mobilized funds for elections in Kwara State only for the chief beneficiary, Governor Abdulrhaman Abdulrazaq to work supposedly against the party.

Lai Mohammed had said that the party had regretfully brought in a one chance government.

But countering him in the session with newsmen, Abubakar said that nobody was too big to be sanctioned.

He said: “I still see the Minister as a member of our party. Because he has not formally told us that he is moving out of the party which I doubt if he will go. He is a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria where the APC as a ruling party is running the administration of government.

“So I would not think he will want to move out, but from those utterances he made, the party, APC as a structure has guidelines over issues. If we feel that what he said publicly amounts to disrespect or causing acrimony within the party, honestly, we are going to make sure the rules of the party are applied against him and any other person.”

Asked whether the minister will be suspended or expelled from the APC, the Kwara party Chairman said: “Well, there are guidelines like I told you. If the offense is commensurate with suspending him, or any other, definitely the rules of the party are going to apply because nobody is too big to be sanctioned. We want to have sanity in the party.”

The chairman who said that the sanctions against Lai Mohammed would come very soon, said:

“There are steps according to the party. It has to start from the particular Ward of that fellow. Then, come down to the Local Government then to the state. So, whatever decision is taken at the Ward, to Local government then to state, it will then be forwarded to the national level for ratification.”
