Minister calls for cancellation of APC membership registration in Kwara

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has called for the cancellation of the on-going membership registration exercise of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, citing alleged non-compliance with the laid down procedures of the party.

Mohammed, at a press briefing at his Oro, Irepodun Council of the state, conceded to the polarisation of the party in the state, but said only a section of what formed the entire membership of the party was unduly favoured in the exercise.

Besides, the minister alleged that the exercise, which started in the state on Tuesday, February 9, 2021 and scheduled to last for the next two weeks, was devoid of diligent attention by the officials to the members, since the beginning of the exercise.

But the interim chairman of the APC in the state, Alhaji Abdullah Samari, said if Mohammed could be captured at his polling unit, “it means all the allegations are baseless, as the exercise is not only credible but a huge success.”
