Bolarinwa was said to have been removed, following a complaint from the state Governor, Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaka who alleged he can’t work with him.
However, a faction of APC said the Party was on the pathway of destruction.
The party stated this in a statement signed by Sunday Oyebiyi, Oyoola Oyedepo and others.
The statement reads in part: “We have resolved to reject the verdict of the National Caretaker Committee on the
purported removal of Hon Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa. It is worth nothing more than the value of the paper on which the letter given to Hon Sanmari Abdulahi is written.
