Stop Media War Over Speakership, Kwara APC Warns

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has banned its members from making any public statement concerning speakership position of the incoming State House of Assembly.

The State Chairman of the party, Hon Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa made this statement against the backdrop of the internecine war fuelled by supporters of members jostling for the headship of next Kwara State House of Assembly(KWHA).

Omolaja in a statement issued said the comments by overzealous supporters of members for the Speakership position and that of opponents of such aspirations are becoming embarrassing to the party, warning all to sheath their swords and work for the collective interest of the party.

He added that the party is built on the collective aspirations for a new Kwara and would be guided appropriately in the choice of members for strategic positions that would enhance good governance and democratic dividends for Kwarans.

He therefore warned that any member, irrespective of his status who fails to adhere to this media ban shall be sanctioned appropriately.
