Kwara State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Bashir Bolarinwa has described a document in circulation, particularly on social media purportedly disqualifying some gubernatorial aspirants running on the party’s platform as a hoax.
Bolarinwa in a statement in Ilorin on Sunday, said, “It is a creation of the fifth columnist that are bent on sowing seeds of discord amongst our party members. The document did not emanate from our secretariat either in Abuja or Ilorin.
“This clarification becomes important following calls from different quarters who desire to know the state of things within the party.
“As far as I am concerned, I have not received any communication from the national secretariat on the outcome of the screening conducted for all our aspirants in the past week.
“Party faithful are free to contact our secretariat along Sango road, Ilorin to seek clarification on every issue relating to the running of our great party. I will advise our members not to join in the spread of any falsehood.
“As a party, we are in constant touch with our aspirants. We have held two meetings in the last two weeks. Therefore, if any issue concerning them will be raised, we shall use that avenue.”
The statement added that, the state chapter of the party is still waiting on the national secretariat on when its primaries will hold.
“We are still expecting the National Working Committee to communicate us, a date when our primaries into all offices will hold in Kwara State.
“Our party is committed to the ideals for which it was formed in the first place and we shall be guided by that, at all times.” He concluded.
