As the crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) in Kwara state chapter continues unabated, members of the state executive caretaker committee of the party Monday rejected the purported removal of the state chairman, Hon.Bashr Omolaja Bolarinwa.
The party state executive committee members said that, “the ruling APC that prides itself as respecters of the rule of law should be expected to ensure that due diligence and respect of Constitution is carried out in dealing with all party affairs so as to move the party forward.”
The crisis in the party started recently following the purported removal of Hon. Bolarinwa and his replacement with the state deputy chairman of the party, Alhaji Sanmari Abdullahi.
