The spokesperson for the Elders Caucus of the Kwara State All Progressives Congress loyal to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Revd Olubunmi Olusona, tells Tunde Oyekola why the APC chairman in the state, Bashir Bolarinwa, should not head the party’s caretaker committee in the state
How
was the current Kwara APC executive formed in 2018?
The Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa-led caretaker committee of the Kwara APC was a child of circumstance; the committee was hurriedly put in place by the former National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole. The Bolarinwa-led committee was not a product of any party congress; he was appointed as the caretaker committee chairman. His letter of appointment is in public domain for all to see. In any case, he would never have emerged from a properly conducted party congress; he was handpicked from the weakest bloc of the groups that formed the Kwara APC after the inglorious exit of the former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, from the APC.
