The Kwara State Coalition of APC Support Groups has accused Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of a plot to hijack nationwide protests for their political gain.
The accusations were made on Monday in a media parley in Ilorin, the state capital
The group said the PDP’s move is aimed at discrediting the APC and undermining its credibility ahead of the upcoming September 21st local government elections.
“We have uncovered their plans to hijack and weaponise the nationwide protest for their own political purposes. They intend to hide under the guise of a protest and paint our state in a negative light which is a desperate attempt to discredit the APC and undermine our credibility ahead of the upcoming local government elections in September”.
“This planned protest is a smokescreen for their true intentions: to cause chaos and destruction in our state”.
They called on Dr. Bukola Saraki to stop inciting his followers against the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state.
“We specifically call on Dr. Bukola Saraki, the leader of the opposition (PDP) in Kwara State, to stop inciting his followers and desist from his destructive tendencies”.
“We must not forget the dark days of the past when Dr. Bukola Saraki and his cohorts were in charge of our state for 16 long years”.
“During their reign, our state was plagued by corruption, mismanagement, and stagnation. No meaningful development was recorded commensurate with the available resources at their disposal, and our state was left in shambles”.
“Dr. Saraki’s leadership was marked by division, strife, and destruction. He and his followers were only interested in enriching themselves rather than working for the benefit of our state”.
“But we will not let them deceive the public to get power again. We will not let them undermine the progress we have made under the APC”.
“We urge Dr. Saraki to desist from this unpatriotic path, call his followers to order, stop the scheme to politicise protests in Kwara, and work towards the peace and prosperity of our state.
The group urged Nigerians to be united and support the administration of President Bola Tinubu’s vision for a prosperous and equitable nation. While calling on Kwarans to support and pray for Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has demonstrated unwavering commitment to addressing Nigeria’s longstanding challenges. His bold and tenacious leadership has been a beacon of hope, tackling issues head-on with a deep understanding of the plight of Nigerians”.
The group however urged the security agencies to be vigilant and prevent any attempts by the PDP to disrupt the peace of Kwara State.
