The gloves are off in Kwara State as proxies of Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Governor Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman have entered the fray to annihilate one another.
The development has led to a sharp division in the state executive committee of the party with the chairman and the deputy chairman of the party, Alhaji Bashir Bolarinwa and Alhaji Abdullahi Samari respectively siding the minister of information and the governor.
In the latest development at the weekend agents of the governor and the minister launched at one another trading allegations of misappropriation of donations received ahead of the political insurgency that uprooted Senator Bukola Saraki’s hegemony over the state.
The state chairman Bolarinwa has been a steadfast loyalist of Lai Mohammed and past efforts to entice him into the governor’s faction had failed.
