Main power brokers in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State are locked in what looks like a fight to the finish over the control of the party and sundry issues. BIOLA AZEEZ traces the genesis of the crisis and the attendant fallouts so far.

Major gladiators seem poised for a battle to the finish in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Kwara State chapter. Despite interventions from the APC top echelon, the intense power struggle among has been manifesting in various shapes and forms, with many observers saying the outcome of the ongoing membership registration and revalidation exercise of the party could determine the superior camp among four tendencies involved in the ‘war’ for the soul of the APC in the state.

The uncanny rivalry among the main combatants predates the events that began to unfold at the threshold of the membership registration exercise. For instance, some party buffs recalled a curious event during the inauguration of the ministers by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. There were accusations and counter-accusations of a seeming attempt to embarrass the state governor, Abdulrahan Abdulrasaq at the event. Since then, the cold war has persisted in the party degenerating into an unpleasant scenario at a recent stakeholders’ meeting.
