Kwara youths under the auspices APC Youth Stakeholders has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, from his ministerial position.

Chairman of the forum, Tiamiyu Mumini, made the request on behalf of the stakeholders at a press conference, in Ilorin on Wednesday.

Tiamiyu Mumini said the minister is a self-serving politician who “should not be allowed to continue his selfish politicking to the detriment of the state.”

He added that “This is a man who surrounds himself with aides who are non Kwarans. He stubbornly refused to pick Kwarans as aides, perhaps that is why he is far from the realities on ground.

“We want him removed because he cannot have his son in the Lagos House of Assembly while he ventures on mortgaging the future of Kwara State youths by causing chaos in the ruling party.”

The group leader also lamented on the refusal of the minister to support the policies and programmes of the state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

He stated that “Instead of supporting his home state government, he is using his influence as a Federal Minister to scuttle well-planned projects and programmes being executed.”

“We are making moves for the suspension of Alhaji Lai Mohammed from APC for rubbishing the membership registration exercise in which more than 100,000 people have registered in each of the 193 wards in the state and if President Muhammadu Buhari refuses to remove him, we are taking steps to expel him from APC,” he concluded
