Buni, Kwara senators meet over state’s APC crisis

Mai Mala Buni, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, on Saturday had a closed door meeting with the three senators representing Kwara State over the leadership crisis rocking the state chapter of the party.
The lawmakers are Senators Ibrahim Oloriegbe (Kwara Central), Oyelola Ashiru (Kwara South) and Sadiq Umar (Kwara North)
The meeting, which took place at the personal residence of the party chairman, lasted about 30 minutes.
The crisis has pitched Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq against Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.
A statement by the Director-General, Press and Media Affairs to the party chairman, Mamman Mohammed, said the meeting focused on promotion of unity within the Kwara APC.
Mohammed added the party chairman assured the lawmakers that the party’s leadership would continue to support the unity and progress of the APC in the state.
Buni was quoted as saying, “As you are aware, the caretaker committee is repositioning the party, reconciling differing opinions to build strong and united membership that will improve the fortunes of the party.”
He told his guests that the party leadership had great respect for due process, discipline and programmes that would contribute to making the party strong.
Responding on behalf of the lawmakers, Senator Ashiru commended Governor Buni for giving the party the desired leadership with a sense of direction and assured him of their commitment to the promotion of the unity.
“We will use our positions to help build a strong APC in Kwara State and to contribute meaningfully in the assembly to support the APC-led government to improve the lives of Nigerians,” Senator Ashiru said.
