Gbenga Awoyale, the President-General of Orisun Igbomina, a socio-cultural association for Igbomina people, has warned supporters of the Kwara State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress, to close ranks to avoid a return of the Bukola Saraki-led era in the State.
Awoyale said in a statement, in Ilorin, on Sunday.
The statement read in part, ‘A key fact about our political party system is that everything centres on votes. If voters do not show up to vote for our candidates on Election Day what becomes of us? And it is only when there is party unity that we can talk about necessary things that should be done to outrun the opposition.

BATTLE FOR KWARA: They are fighting because Abdulrazaq rejected their political appointees Awoyale

A chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kwara State and President-General of Orisun Igbomina, Chief Gbenga Awoyale, in this interview, speaks on the crisis in the state chapter of the party.
Why is Kwara APC still enmeshed in crisis?
I kept quiet because everything that has a beginning will surely have an end. I have never seen a state party chairman that boldly conducts party affairs like the APC chairman in Kwara except the person has external backing.
Can anyone try that with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State or Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State? However, what is happening is not new in Nigeria’s political landscape. It happened in Ekiti, Ondo and Kogi states respectively, but the state governors later emerged victoriously. They will not succeed in Kwara.
