Kwara APC Crisis: Youths Hail Tinubu’s Intervention
Stephen Olufemi Oni, Ilorin
Coalition of Kwara All Progressives Young Stakeholders (CKAYS) has hailed the intervention of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, in the crisis rocking the state’s chapter of the party.
The coalition, an umbrella body of all youths’ groups and associations
in the state APC, added that Tinubu is a known national leader of APC
in the country.
The youths group was reacting to the recent attack on the personalities of the
state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and Tinubu by another group, named Kwara for Kwara Movement (K4K).
K4K had at a press conference in Ilorin claimed that the move by Tinubu to intervene in the Kwara APC crisis was borne out of personal political agenda for 2023.
At a press conference in Ilorin, Kwara North leader of CKAYS, Ahmed Mohammed, said that “we are not giving up on reconciliation. So we are calling on Asiwaju Tinubu to do more. He is
always welcome in Kwara state. He is a known leader of APC in Nigeria
and he is no less recognised in the state.
“Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a national figure beyond the shores of Kwara politics and we see no crime in his contributions to ensure peace reigns in Kwara politics.
“From all indications and deductions from Kwara for Kwara Movement,
the whole exercise is a most ingenious strategy and tactic in preparation for 2023. However, we are aware that opposition parties are always at work.”
Describing Governor AbdulRazaq’s administration as” the most performing administration” since the creation of Kwara state, the group urged the governor not to be distracted by the
activities of the unknown and faceless group,
Mohammed added that “the movement’s vituperations are to cause blemish
and turn the hands of progress back, by some disgruntled elements bent
on discrediting the most performing administration since the creation
of the state.”
