APC Youths in Kwara state have rejected the ministerial
nomination of Lai Mohammed as the minister representing Kwara state. The youths
under the aegis Coalition Groups of All Progressives Congress, APC presented a
petition letter to the state party chairman, Ishola Balogun Fulani at the party
secretariat, accusing Lai Mohammed of not working towards the success of the
party in the state during the last election but concentrated his energy in
Lagos state.
They say it will be unfair to other party members in the state who are well deserving and worked for the success of the party in the state.
Spokesperson of the group, Prince Adetoyese Omokanye said

"His permanent voter’s card(PVC) was registered and
collected in Lagos and all his contributions for the emergence of APC at the
federal level are through lagos. He was not in Kwara all through the
electioneering exercise and couldn’t influence our electoral successes at the
poll.His son is presently a member of Lagos state house of assembly.
Therefore,he stressed,”we are baffled when newspapers claims indicated that he
represents Kwara state in the ministerial list submitted by the president to
the national assembly for screening. Our assumption was that two nominees have
been taken from Lagos,Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola.
Confirming Lai Mohammed as representing Kwara state in the ministerial position
is denying Kwara state of being represented at that level. It will be justice
denied,and a promotion of unfairness and political exclusion of Kwara state in
the affairs of our country. To this end,we request that Mr President chose
among qualified individuals with impeccable character from Kwara South
senatorial district to represent the state at the federal council. Kwara south
senatorial district is made up of seven local government out of the sixteen in
the entire state. We have great minds,success stories that could bring more and
positive impacts to the nation building,people with unbeatable track records
and have impacted positively to the social,political and economic integration
of Kwara state. These group contributed greatly to the success of APC at all
levels in Kwara state”he said
