The All Progressives Congress in Kwara State has dismissed a media report which suggested that there is a brewing crises in the party over the nomination process to proposed Transition Implementation Committee as untrue and misleading.

The reaction of the party was signed by its Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari on Wednesday.

It is utterly untrue that there exists brewing crises in our party over the appointment of persons into the Transition Implementation Committee. Therefore, we urge members of our party in Kwara State to disregard the misleading report.

While it is true that the leadership of the party has requested for the submission of names across the 193 wards in the state, we want to emphasize that we have experienced party administrators in our party. Therefore, we can assure party members and the people of Kwara State that the nomination process into the proposed Transition Implementation Committee will be hitch-free. The party will ensure justice and equity in the entire process.

We also want to assure party members who tirelessly worked for the success of the party during the elections that their contributions will not be in vain.

As a party, we believe that the idea of the Transition Implementation Committee (TIC) for the 16 local government councils in the state is in the best interest of Kwarans, considering the fact that our State cannot afford to spend over N1bn on Council elections in the face of economic reality.
