A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has expressed outrage over alleged plans to alter the list of party executives validated in a recent congress. During a protest that took place at the residence of the party's chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, members claimed that there were efforts being made to replace the names of duly elected executives with those favored by certain leaders within the party. This accusation reflects deeper tensions within the APC, a party that has seen various internal conflicts leading up to major elections.

The protesters highlighted that according to the party's national leadership directives, the congress was supposed to be held through affirmation, meaning that nominees were to be accepted without contest. They argued that the original list of executives was returned unopposed, ensuring transparency in the process. However, the allegations of tampering have ignited fears among party members that the integrity of their internal democratic processes is at risk, prompting their demands for intervention from higher party authorities.

This incident in Kwara State underscores the discontent among APC members regarding leadership practices, especially in the lead-up to elections when party unity is imperative. If these allegations of manipulation are proven true, it could lead to further divisions within the party, potentially impacting their performance in future elections. Party leadership will need to address these grievances to maintain cohesion and public confidence in their governance and internal structures.
