Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the PDP in Kwara state “is sinking and in total disarray” and had resorted to cheap blackmail against the APC.

The minister stated this on Friday, December 28, in Ilorin after a meeting with a cross section of APC Executive Council in the state led by the factional chairman, Bashir Bolarinwa.

Mohammed was reacting to a social media report that he allegedly masterminded the live coverage and disruption of a community event by the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU) in the state capital.

The minister denied the social media report stressing that it was the handiwork of the “sinking PDP”.
