Samari also expressed satisfaction on the peaceful conduct of the exercise, adding that all the local government executives of the party emerged through consensus arrangement.
Addressing journalists at the party’s secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital on Tuesday, Samari said that, “unlike the ward congress which involved all party members, the local government congress was not an all-comers’ affair. It was strictly a delegates’ election in which only accredited delegates, including elected statutory delegates, were allowed to take part.
The APC chairman said that the exercise must also be conducted by accredited party officials and duly monitored by the INEC to be called a lawful congress. “This is exactly the procedures we followed as a party. Any group of persons who claimed to conduct anything contrary to this in Kwara State or anywhere else are just a bunch of jokers and mischief makers who should never be taken serious.
“We are glad that the national secretariat of our party has also made this very clear, especially in the light of some misleading reports on the congress. The party’s rules and guidelines are very clear. The consequences for anyone flouting the guidelines, thereby bringing the party to ridicule for their own selfish agenda, are also very clear and we are glad the national secretariat of the party has also spoken in this regard.
