The minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) has broken the “Berlin Wall” of Kwara politics following its victory in the state’s bye-election.

The political landscape of Kwara had been controlled by Senate President Bukola Saraki, and before him, Olusola Saraki, his late father.

But on Saturday, the APC defeated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to win the House of Representatives bye-election in the state.

The ruling party also won the bye-elections in Katsina and Bauchi states.

Speaking after the election, Mohammed was quoted by The Nation as saying: “It was the will of the people that prevailed. God has turned the seemingly political impregnability of Saraki’s dynasty to foolishness. APC is God-ordained for this state and the country.

“With this victory you have broken the Berlin Wall and same will repeat itself in 2019 elections.”
