Massive Crisis Rocks APC As 20,000 Members Dump party in Kwara state.

Onyxnews Nigeria quotes The Nations reporting that twenty thousand (20,000) members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara state have reportedly renounced their membership from the party.

Onyxnews Nigeria gathered that the Kwara Central APC senatorial chair, Abdulfatai AbdulRaman, said the members renounced the party in the state to form Kwara Third Force.

He said that the party members decided to exit the Kwara APC following the lingering crisis in the party.

AbdulRaman stated that the members of APC who left the party comprised of local government party chairmen, women and youth leaders, ward chairmen as well as APC stalwarts across all the 16 local government areas in the state.

The politician alleged that the just concluded APC membership registration and revalidation in the state was a grand design to disenfranchise many members.

He said: “A grand design that denied majority of party members the opportunity to register and revalidate their membership across the state is a 2023 permutation agenda. We can never cross our fingers and watch the game from the sideline.”

AbdulRaman also accused the Kwara state governor of trying to impose his candidates in all elective positions within the party.
