AbdulRazaq speaking through his spokesperson, Rafiu Ajakaye said the objective of the plotters is to create a false image for the governor as a promoter of violence.

Alhaji Dantala Yaro, the state treasurer
Legit.ng had reported how violence erupted at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Ilorin, ahead of the party’s membership registration exercise.
Party members were seen throwing chairs at each other as they engaged in a free for all brawl.
How it started
The Kwara chapter of the party has been embroiled in crisis over the leadership position.
There is said to be a power tussle between the Kwara governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed.
In reaction, Kris Shex said:
"But wait a minute! What type of legacies are these people leaving for their children? How did Nigeria get here? These are just “Professional Tugs” not leaders at all. I see no difference between street tugs and these people except their dressing. This a very big shame to Naija."

"APC finally left the brooms for chairs."
