Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has reacted
to the gale of defection of some federal law makers across the Senate and House
of Representatives, saying Kwara State is still firm in support of President
Mohammadu Buhari, reports ITRealms.
The minister in a press statement available to ITRealms on
Thursday, said that against the backdrop of the recent events at the National
Assembly, expressing appreciation to all members of All Progressive Congress
(APC) in Kwara State.
“I want to most sincerely thank all APC members and supporters
in Kwara State for their unflinching commitment to ensuring that the party emerges
stronger than ever in the state,” he said.
As said by him, that commitment has been reflected in the
overwhelming support and solidarity that we have received, not just from our
party members but also from other parties and stakeholders across the state,
since the melodrama at the National Assembly on Tuesday.
“In particular, there has been an expression of overwhelming
love and support for President Muhammadu Buhari from across Kwara, in the wake
of the defections by federal legislators from Kwara,
“I call on all our members and supporters in Kwara to remain
calm, because there is no cause for alarm.
“We are currently consulting with the national leadership of our
great party, with a view to coming up with a programme of action that will take
into consideration the recent developments.
“Our members and supporters should have no doubt whatsoever that
whatever decisions we take after the consultations will be in their overall
best interest,” he said.
