Why We Unveiled New Kwara APC Secretariat, by Legacy Group

Some loyalists of the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, under the aegis of Kwara Legacy Group at the weekend in Ilorin, Kwara State, exonerated the minister from the circumstances that led to the recent unveiling of a new state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The group, however, said the reasons behind the creation of new party secretariat of the party were due to the expiration of agreement with the landlord of the building that had served as the party secretariat.

The minister was reportedly invited before the national leadership of the party for allegedly opening another party secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital, last Saturday.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin, the spokesperson of the group, Hon. Kayode Ogunlowo, said: “Following the expiration of the tenancy agreement of the former party state secretariat, there is need to acquire new one to allow the party function in the state.

“We can recall that before the emergence of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq as a candidate of our party in 2018, we had a party secretariat that was fully functional, but immediately Abdulrazaq became the governor, he rented a three-bedroom apartment at Tanke Iledu and tagged it the state secretariat of the party. What a leader?

“After the expiration of our agreement with our landlord, the party structure was left without a party secretariat which informed the party executive led by Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa to acquire a befitting party secretariat that was unveiled by the minister last week.”
