The All Progressives Congress in Kwara State on Friday alleged that some politicians from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party are plotting to hijack the machinery of the APC.

In a joint statement by the state Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Kayode Olawepo; his Congress for Progressive Change counterpart, Alhaji Suleiman Buhari; and the state chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, Alhaji Taiwo Eleja, the parties advised their members to be wary of such overtures.

"Not only do they have a shameful and promiscuous history of jumping ship wherever their bread is no longer buttered, they also have a record of attempting to hijack the machinery of the unsuspecting party to pave the way for their ultimate goal of using it as a bargain chip," the statement said.

It said that while APC was open to the people, the intending members or groups must be ready to subject themselves both to the supremacy of the party and the will of the majority.

It warned that deriding the party structures by dismissing it as ignorant and inconsequential by anyone was unacceptable.

"Already, a committee headed by a former national officer of the PDP and a perennial governorship contestant in the state, has been set up to fine-tune the modalities for the take-over bid. And true to instructions, the committee has devised a multi-prong approach to destabilising the new APC structure.

"These methods include but are by no means limited to flying the dangerous kite of dissolution of the democratically elected state executive councils of the three major opposition parties in the state, to be done by a few compromised members of our parties; promotion and sponsorship of hitherto unknown black-market political forums and food-is-ready Non Governmental Organisations that are now masquerading as political counterforce and the public messiah," it said
