Kwara: Lai Mohammed begs aggrieved associates not to dump APC

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has appealed to aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State to reconsider their decision to dump the party in the state.

The minister, who is also from Kwara, made this known in a statement on Tuesday.

He urged the defectors to return to their “natural habitat” for their grievances to be addressed ahead of the 2023 elections.

Mohammed said, “My attention has been drawn to media reports on the alleged defection of some of my supporters in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

“I wish to state categorically that despite the fact that the supporters are genuinely aggrieved at the way and manner they have been treated by the Kwara State Governor and his supporters, against the backdrop of their immeasurable contributions to the massive victory of our party in the state in 2019, leaving the party is not the solution.

“We have taken the grievances of our supporters to the highest level of our party, and we have cause to believe that everything will be done to address the grievances and unite the party ahead of the 2023 elections.

“I am therefore appealing to those who may have left to reconsider their stand and return to their natural habitat.
