Saraki’s ‘APC’ loyalists lose at Supreme Court


The Supreme Court has dismissed a motion brought by former executive committee members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State.

The officials, loyalists of Senate President Bukola Saraki, are challenging their sack by the APC headquarters.

The executive committee, led by Ishola Balogun-Fulani, asked the Supreme Court to nullify its sack by the national leadership of the APC.

The National Working Committee of the APC sacked the state executive committee for alleged anti-party activities and replaced it with a caretaker committee headed by Bashir Bolarinwa.

The officials were also prevented from participating in the 2019 general elections in the state on the APC platform.


A Kwara State High Court in December granted the application of the group against the dissolution and pronounced it the authentic leadership of the APC in the state. But the Court of Appeal reversed the judgment.

Consequently, the aggrieved members approached the apex court in a final attempt for the reinstatement of their committee and declaration of its nominated candidates as the authentic ones for the APC in the state.

They asked the court to prevent the APC national leadership from recognising the Bolarinwa-led state executive committee.


According to the applicants, the motion was a pre-election matter, which ought to be heard within 60 days.

In its ruling, however, the Supreme Court said the application was brought outside the specified time of 14 days, for the filing of such a pre-election matter, making it incompetent.


Background
Mr Balogun-Fulani’s faction was sacked by the national working committee of the APC led by the party’s chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, after Mr Saraki defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki
A few days before Mr Saraki made his move, the state executive of the APC led by Mr Balogun-Fulani had at a press conference in Ilorin accused the presidency and the national leadership of the party of maltreating the Senate President and told him to lead them to another party.

Surprisingly, Mr Balogun-Fulani and some members of his exco later said they were staying back in the APC after Mr Saraki had defected to the PDP.

The APC national leadership reacted by dissolving the state executive and replacing it with a caretaker committee.

Following their sack, Mr Balogun-Funlani approached the Ilorin Division of the High Court where his faction was pronounced the authentic APC in the state.

The APC national working committee challenged the ruling and secured a victory at the Court of Appeal. The appellate court ordered the recognition of Messrs Bolarinwa and Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq as the authentic chairman and governorship candidate of the APC in Kwara State.

That development led to the Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday.

This Saraki's matter will Make many develop sudden HBP walahi. He's got nothing to lose. The otoge revolutionists would soon know what's up. My friend's dad was a beneficiary of Saraki's scholarship schemes which gave my friend the opportunity it of enjoying quality western education. In my undergraduate years in ilorin, I remember when many poor people would go to his dad's ( turaki ilorin) house to collect money every Friday to sort out their pressing needs. Some should get house rent etc. I was surprised how all these were forgotten in a hurry by the revolutionists who were hell bent on sending Saraki off power. Their case would soon be like that of anti ghadafi protesters in Libya who later realised they were deceived by the west to oust ghadafi. 2 years is too much to begin feeling the pain. Unfortunately those who sponsored otoge including Tinubu would have reaped the benefits alone and abandon the kwarans.

Read again, all you mentioned here, is your personal gain from Saraki, hence, the reason people like you will want the Saraki dynasty to continue.
I expected you to defend Saraki, with the employment he created for Kwarans, the roads he built and the factory he brought to Kwara both as Gov and SP not the loaf of bread he bought for you, when you are hungry.

You're fond of rushing to attack anyone who goes contrary to your opinions but no worries . If you've not seen anything done by this man, I've seen youth empowerment, I've seen the hospitals, I've seen the kwara diagnostics, one of the best in the country which has provided jobs to a lot of kwara youths , I've seen the scholarship schemes , I've seen the free flow of traffic in ilorin metropolis, including the overhead bridge constructed in post office area. I've seen asa dam road revamp , I've seen road constructions in ofa, I've also see that of ajase ipo, okerimi, ijomu, iludun, up to obo ayegunle and revamp of kwarapoly and the State owned NCE. I can go on and on. Never mind sha, ojuyin maa to jaa

Stop being silly.

Because of that quack doctor you are wishing evil on the people of Kwara.

It looks like your source of livelihood has been cut off.

There's no message other than the subtle threat to the electorate.

Saraki as an administrator is nobody without the electorate.

They are fed up of him.

Power to the people.

O to ge.

The lingering court case of who leads the Kwara / Apc Exco has finally been put to bed, through the Supreme court Judgement in Abuja. As the faction popular used and loyal to Mesujamba / Saraki, the unrepented Senate President has been given the red card.

One can easily see clearly that despite your level of education as you claim, your brain is retarded and from all indication i don't think you can even differentiate your left hand from right. Because of the fact that Saraki gave your friend a scholarship and you are also part of the almajir that always go to (ile loke) so to say during your school days to collect 50box, you can come here to say bla,bla,bla. u dont even know what a governance really means. He only gave panny out billions he looted from the state to very view individual at the expense of the kwarans. What happen to the good roads, Hospital, Drinkable water, education, Kwara Economy and all the social femininities you can think off. Bro u need to borrow brain so that that your education wll not be a wast.

You guys are the one attacking here and it's simply because truth is bitter. It pinches like needle. Mind you, I never said the incoming government won't do anything. But dont expect miracles as I can see your expectations are so high. Rather pray for him.
