“APC Has Failed Us”- Kwara State Governor

The Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed stated that the All Progressive Congress (APC) has failed to meet their expectations.

He was at a meeting in Ilorin with Youths, artisans, local government chairmen and associations where they told the Governor that he should take them out of APC.

The people stated that all they know in the state is Saraki and that therefore, they would be willing to go anywhere their leaders are going to.

The Kwara state Governor responded saying: “We are gathered here to consult with our supporters, market women, artisans, youths and women on how to guarantee our people’s interest and our state’s progress.”

“Our leader Senate President Bukola Saraki will soon come home to announce where we will go. APC has not met our expectations.”

The Kwara state Governor added: “Stakeholders have come to tell us here today that you don’t want to remain in APC. You have told us that they have not met your aspirations as a people in APC. You have come to tell us that you want us to move on to a new platform that will give us room to meet our aspirations for the good of Kwarans.

“By the grace of God almighty, you will have a response very soon and very clear. But one is as clear as crystal you the stakeholders have told us to move out of the APC and because we run an inclusive process, that is why we have come to sit here and seek your opinion which you have expressed.

“And certainly your decision is our decision. So whatever you want is what we will do. God will guide us aright.”

Ahmed spoke of his disappointment in the APC and recalled how he and other key stakeholders built APC in 2014 but were left unhappy.

“We formed APC together in 2014 with the hope to meet the needs and aspirations of the people in critical areas of our national life”.
