With the emergence of Gambari as a person arguably holding the highest political office in the state at present, APC in Kwara may, at last, have found a father figure and rallying point that would resolve the existing silent rifts within it. Gambari
may be the much-needed elixir for prompt resuscitation of the highly polarized the ruling All Progressives Party party in Kwara State. Kwara APC, solidified by Otoge! movement against the ageless political rulership of late Olusola Saraki dynasty one and a half years ago, lacks clear-cut leadership straddling its affairs.
“So when the victory was won, we lacked direction. Each member saw himself as a victor, having fought from his own angle. For instance, how would I call the honourable Minister my political leader? I had been in the forays of political struggles for almost three decades now! I think, this is where the problem emanated from. We don’t have a clear-cut leader.”
In the same vein, another source opined, “we know that not all of us could be given political appointments, but others should be taken care of financially. Why are we in politics if we can’t enjoy little financial benefits?” The state’s party Chairman, Bashiru Omolaja Bolarinwa, alias ‘BOB’, a gentle politician but full of political exposure and maturity, having once represented a Lagos Constituency as a House of Representatives member, is said to be clamouring for the supremacy of the party in crisis within the party.
Besides, the former chairman of the APC in the state, Chief Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, had since dissociated himself from the position of Ehinrogunjo, who had in the said audio, linked the politician with his views on the governor.
“This same view I aired before the brother of the governor, Dr. Alimi Abdulrazaq and five others sometime in the month of January, this year. I stand by my view that intra-party crisis should not be our main programme after our landslide victory of 2019.
