A coalition of governorship aspirants and other stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State on Monday staged a massive solidarity rally in Ilorin, protesting what they described as the party’s exclusionary leadership style.
They also appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the affairs of the state chapter.
The rally came a day after candidates of the party staged a thank-you rally across Ilorin on Sunday, thanking the people for their support and appreciating President Bola Tinubu.
The party has been split since the primaries held in May, as some of the contestants accused the state leadership of the party of handpicking candidates, instead of conducting free and fair primaries.
Operating under the platform of the Kwara APC G15, the coalition, on Monday, declared what it called the relaunch of the Otoge movement, insisting that the ideals that ended the Saraki political dynasty’s dominance of the state in 2019 had been abandoned under the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
