Kwara APC Gov candidate lauds appeal court verdict affirming his candidacy

Date: 2019-02-13

The Kwara All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Mr. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has described the Appeal Court judgment affirming his candidature as a victory for the people of the state.

AbdulRazaq, in a statement by his media aide, Mr. Rafiu Ajakaye on Tuesday in Ilorin, said the ruling confirmed his position that the earlier judgment of the High Court was in bad faith and cannot stand any legal scrutiny.

"The judgment on our interlocutory appeal has cleared the final logjam the discredited dynasty, acting through their proxies, was using to stall our people's steady move to political liberation and socio-economic progress.

"On behalf of all Kwara APC candidates in the coming election, we thank the people of the state for their solidarity while the legal distractions lasted.

"The ruling is a victory for the masses of the state who yearn for change, political freedom and a government that is truly committed to their welfare.

"Finally, we thank our lawyers for their doggedness, brilliant submissions and perseverance in the diligent prosecution of the appeal," he said.

He expressed gratitude to the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee of the APC for putting its feet down that states must be free from political predators.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that an Ilorin High Court had earlier declared the Ishola Balogun-Fulani led faction of the APC as the authentic leadership of the party in the state, while also recognising the governorship candidate of the faction, Mr. Kayode Omotoshe, as the party's candidate for the forthcoming poll.
