Says they were warned not to support him
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed on Saturday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, took a swipe at Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq and his supporters over the recent leadership crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State.
The minister literarily drew the battle line with the governor when he openly criticised him and lamented that We were warned about his choice then but failed to listen.
Lai Mohammed, who was in Ilorin to commission the new party secretariat of the Bashir Bolarinwa led faction of the party was making his first public statement on the protracted crisis.
According to him, It has gotten to the point where we have to speak out. We have been pushed to the wall and we have no choice to come out and exposed their lies and pretensions.
It was immediately after the Governor emerged as the partys candidate for the election that it dawned on us that we have entered ‘one chance’.
But despite all the warnings from concerned party leaders and others who had reservations about his choice, our reaction then was that no matter what, his choice was better than where we were coming from. But we were wrong, he added.
He said there will not be congress in Kwara state without the registration of the members who have not been able to do so.
