Hand Over Kwara PDP Structure To rAPC, Face Mass Defection -Kwara PDP Tells NWC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kwara State chapter on saturday threatened to defect if the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) eventually handed over the chapter to the reformed All Progressives Congress(rAPC) as being speculated.

The state former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Kunle Sulyman and other party leaders disclosed this at a news conference they addressed in Ilorin, warning the PDP National Chairman, Chief Uche Secondus against handing over the leadership of the chapter to the rAPC leaders.

The rAPC leaders in the state are being led by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, the state governor, Mr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, Sen. Shaaba Lafiaji and Sen. Rafiu Ibrahim among others.

Sulyman said: “I want to say that the PDP should be careful on this move because this may have a serious effect on the future of the party in the country.”

Sulyman explained that Kwara PDP “is formidable to win any elections in the state. We do not need any groups of people that will destabilise our unity of purpose.”

“However, if the NWC decides to allow the rAPC leaders in Kwara State to take over the PDP, we will have no other way than to move our structures to another party that we will work with during the next year general elections.
