The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has described Yekini Nabena, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as an impostor.
Mohammed made the remark in response to a statement credited to Nabena on the ongoing membership revalidation exercise of the APC in Kwara State.
The minister had called for the cancellation of APC revalidation in Kwara State over alleged irregularities.
Mohammed had said the revalidation exercise did not meet guidelines laid down by the national body of APC.
However, Nabena countered the stance of the minister.
Nabena charged Mohammed to submit to the authority of AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Kwara State Governor over matters of the party in the state.
