Muhammadu Buhari on Monday met behind closed door with stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Speaking to State House correspondents at the end of the meeting, the state APC governorship candidate in the 2019 general elections, Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, said the president had given the party the marching order to take over the mantle of leadership in Kwara.
He said the president’s marching order would be democratically implemented by the party as the people of the state had since expressed their readiness to make the Saraki political dynasty a history in the state.
“Kwara has become a battle field now. As you can see, we came to see Mr President having gone through a very competitive process of primaries. We went through the direct primary in which about 100,000 party faithful voted.
“We had our difficulties but we came to tell him that all is well. We are in unison and he has given us marching order to go and take Kwara.
“So, Saraki is history because we are looking at (Kwara) Government House,’’ he said.
