All Progressives Congress (APC) youths from Kwara South Senatorial District have denied attacking a meeting of party elders with stakeholders and dismissed reports about their opposition to the re-election of the state Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, as untrue.
The youths, at a joint press briefing yesterday in Ajasse-Ipo, addressed by Sunkanmi Ereoye, coordinator of youth leaders from the seven local government areas in Kwara South Senatorial District, said contrary to media reports that they opposed APC Kwara South Elders Forum’s agenda, the fracas was due to a misunderstanding unrelated to the elders’ meeting.
“To set the record straight, we will like to state exactly what happened. On that day, we heard that our elders were consulting with some stakeholders at Ajasse Ipo to sensitise them on what the government has done in Kwara South and the need to support Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed for the sake of continuity and equity.
“On getting there, however, we had a disagreement on another issue. This led to an unfortunate fracas among us, which has sadly been misreported as an attack on the APC elders. That is far from the truth.
“Let it be known therefore that we are neither opposed to our APC elders nor to their mission of canvassing support for our amiable Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed’s re-election,” Ereoye said.
