I’m Kwara only APC legal guber candidate ― AbdulWahab

GOVERNORSHIP candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Hon. Kayode Abdul Wahab has said that he remains the party’s only governorship candidate recognised by law.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Sunday, AbdulWahab said that he emerged the winner of the governorship primaries conducted by the court- backed Ishola Balogun-Fulani led APC in the state.

The APC governorship candidate, who said that the subsisting court injunction recognises Balogun-Fulani led APC executives in the state, added that anyone claiming to have emerged as the party’s governorship candidate from any other primaries is an impostor.

Abdulwahab also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), to treat the issue of Kwara APC the way it had treated the Peoples Democratic Party’s issue in Ogun state.

INEC had recognised candidates that emerged from the primaries conducted by the Buruji Kashamu’s faction of PDP in Ogun state, relying on a court order which recognises Kashamu’s faction of the party.

AbdulWahab, a former senior journalist with THIS DAY, also asked President Muhammadu Buhari, as a leader who has respect for the rule of law to call the APC national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and Information minister, Lai Mohammed to order on the legal status of Kwara APC.

He asked Oshiomhole and Mohammed to respect the court’s injunction that recognises Balogun- Fulani led executives of APC in the stop and stop patronising those, he said, were illegally parading themselves as party’s executives and governorship candidate in the state in defiance of the court order.

AbdulWahab reminded Hon. Bashir Bolarinwa and Mr AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq that their laying claims to the chairmanship of the party and governorship candidacy respectively is contemptuous of the court’s order.
