PDP's bid to recapture Kwara, a mirage -Saraki.

Date: 2014-04-28

Chairman, Senate Committee on Ecology, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has said that the quest of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party to recapture political power in Kwara State will be a mirage.

Jonathan and PDP leaders had in many occasions said PDP will recapture power from APC in Kwara.

Saraki speaking during the state congress of the Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress in Ilorin on Saturday said PDP cannot recapture power from APC in the state.

He said APC will win all the elections in the state in 2015.

He said, “Do not let anybody to come and deceive you here in Kwara State. This is the party (APC) that will bring succor to Kwarans. This is not a party of promises. This is a part of performance. It is only Kwarans that will repair Kwara. Abuja cannot come to Kwara.

Abuja is too busy with Abuja problem.

“Every ward, every local government should deliver APC here in Kwara State. There is no room for anyone else here in Kwara than APC. This time around 2015, we will reenact what we did in 2011. I believe that with the team we have, we will succeed by God’s grace.”

A former PDP Kwara State Chairman, Alhaji Ishola Fulani-Balogun re-emerged as the Kwara State Chairman of APC with 1,261 votes.

Fulani-Balogun was the interim chairman of APC in the state after Saraki and his loyalists defected from PDP to APC.

Also a former Kwara State PDP Secretary, Mr. Yemi Afolanya, also emerged as the secretary of APC in the state with 1261 votes. Afolayan was also the interim Secretary of APC.

All the 35 officials of the party emerged as single candidacies. 1,264 delegates from 193 wards in 16 local governments of the state participated in the state congress. Some of the APC stalwarts present at the congress included Saraki, the current governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, a former governor of the state, Senator Shaaba Lafiaji, interim National Publicity Secretary of APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, a former acting National Chairman of PDP and currently an APC chieftain, Alhaji Kawu Baraje; member representing Ilorin East and South Federal Constituency, Dr. Ali Ahmad and Chairman, Ekiti Local
