2019: Kwara APC foundation members demand governorship slot

SOME All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Kwara state, who claimed they are foundation members of the party, have urged the national leadership of the party to bring all stakeholders in the state together to ensure victory in 2019 general elections.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin at the weekend, the spokesperson of the group, Isiaka Warah, said that they “were concerned about coasting home to victory in the coming elections and one of the ways to ensure victory is to bring all stakeholders together in a manner that can guarantee trust, oneness and dedication amongst all members”.

Mr. Warah, who was also House of Representatives aspirant in the last APC primaries, described the just concluded primaries in the state as a modified consensus mode of primary, saying that the results of the exercise were discarded by the National Working Committee (NWC).

He, therefore, demanded from the leadership of the party following positions on behalf of the group, namely, governorship slot; two senatorial slots; House of Representatives slots; House of Assembly slot and agreeable terms on the formation of the next government for foundation members.

“Those are what we considered time tested solutions to problems bedevilling the party at this material time. Anything short of this will not only be counter- productive but inimical to our common interest ahead of 2019 elections.

“We invite men and women of good conscience to join in this crusade that is aimed at repositioning our party ahead of the big task,” he said.
