That We do hereby pledge our loyalty to Hon Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa as the APC Caretaker Chairman in Kwara State.
That we decried and condemned the non-inclusive nature of governance being currently experienced in our dear State, as it runs counter to the intent and Spirit of Kwara OTOGE mantra as well as normal democratic norms.
That, We condemn in totality the jaundiced recently concluded registration/revalidation exercise conducted in Kwara State because, the exercise as conducted by Senator Danboi Committee runs afoul of all laid down Party guidelines.
That, We affirmed and stood by our positions as presented to the APC registration Appeal Committee that all our over 500,000 loyal members that were shut out of the jaundiced registration/revalidation exercise be duly registered/revalidated immediately.
That, the registration/revalidation of those our members be done before the commencement of various congresses of our party.
That, the congresses of our party at all levels be transparently conducted to the satisfaction of all.
That We call on the leadership of APC at the National level, that these requests are our irreducible minimum as committed and loyal APC members.
That We all remain resolute, strong and steadfast in moving our party APC forward
