A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw its candidates’ list published last week.

The faction, led by Ishola Balogun-Fulani in a letter to INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu through its counsel, Yusuf O. Ali & Co., and dated January 21, 2019, charged the commission to publish the names of the candidates submitted in line with the judgment of Kwara State High Court.

This, it said, is to sanitise the processes of publishing names of eligible candidates “by restoring credibility to the commission in line with the rule of law.”

In the letter, a copy of which was also sent to the European Union (EU), the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), APC expressed disappointment that INEC published different names of candidates.

Specifically, it mentioned Senatorial and House of Representatives candidates benefiting from the Kwara State High Court judgment delivered in a suit, as candidates from Kwara State against whose names ‘Court Order’ was written in INEC’s list published on January 17, 2019.It also argued that what the commission did by inserting ‘Court Order’ against the names of the candidates when there is no court order to that effect was “criminal, fraudulent and deceitful manipulation of facts.”

Meanwhile, Kwara APC governorship campaign organisation yesterday insisted that the N70 billion memorandum of understanding (MOU) the state government signed with Vasolar Consortium four years ago was a fraud, saying the firm does not exist anywhere in the world.

“We have searched everywhere and there’s nothing to suggest that this firm exists anywhere in the world. A Google search of the firm’s name indicated that the Kwara State Government sponsored the MoU in which the consortium was mentioned.

“Nothing else can be found on this Consortium anywhere else in the world,” Rafiu Ajakaye, spokesman of the campaign organisation, said in a statement.

But in a swift reaction, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, Muideen Akorede said, “There is nothing secret about the Vasolar project. “Nothing about the project qualifies it as a scam. For the benefit of the Abdulrahman Abdulrazak Campaign Organisation, an MoU is a non-legally binding, but formal agreement between two parties.”

You are simply being emotional. Fulani remains the authentic chairman of apc in Kwara. Or has Rochas abi Amosun stop being APC by their open support for APM and AA?

NO need to quarry, let's view it from the angle of the law, instead of spewing nonsense and fighting over others people problems

dat Fulani guy just dey misbehave anyhow

Whether pro or anti-Saraki, the Balogun-Fulani faction is the legally recognized arm of the APC according to the court of appeal.
Meanwhile the the anarchy, impunity & lawlessness the APC have instituted nationwide will continue to consume it inward.Bunch of desperate power drunks

He never declared support for Saraki.Unless that court judgment is vacated by a superior court its candidates remain the authentic APC candidates.

He has already succeeded.He has been declared the authentic APC executive in Kwara state by the courts.

He never decamped with Saraki to PDP.The APC shot itself when it illegally removed him.

Balogun fulani should approach the court if he has a case against Apc. The NWC led by oshomole disbanded his exco in line with the party constitution.
If balogun think otherwise he should file a suit challenging the NWC , Just like kashamu did against pdp Nwc in ogun state and he won the case in court.
Only a court order can make inec change list of apc candidates.

Bros you are not current.A court order has declared him the authentic APC chairman in Kwara state.If INEC disobeys the court order then the APC in kwara will suffer the same fate as their Rivers counterparts.Remember the supreme court will still rule on it.

Saraki fan detected.

I don't even know the name of the governor candidate in your faction.

state or federal high Court

state or federal high Court

Does it make any difference?

You don't need to know.The most important thing is that he is the authentic APC candidate not the Otega guy

ORIENTATION101:

Are you sure he has not done that already.

PaChukwudi44:

That means you no nothing about the man. The same man that promised to go with Saraki to any party on a live TV broadcast

He is wasting his time because irrespective of whatever judgement he's rambling about, it is the party's NWC that is mandated to conduct the primary that picks the party's candidate and not the state exco. That is the same reason why Amosun and Okorocha lost out even though they organized their own primaries which produced their preferred candidates but in the end couldn't do jack in their respective states after the party's NWC decided on the primaries and candidates to legitimize. It is the same reason the party isn't losing sleep over the matter. He's grasping at straws.

PaChukwudi44:

Kwara state is already a done deal, how could you be in PDP and want to dictate what happens in APC. You and Saraki are being clever by half.Rivers case is just a matter of time.

Is anything wrong with being saraki's fan?
