Lai Mohammed Reacts To Protest, Says I Deserve Ministerial Nomination

The ministerial nominee from Kwara state and the National
Publicity Secretary of APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed insisted that he deserved the
ministerial nomination from Kwara state which nobody,or group of persons could
deny him.

Lai Mohammed in his reaction, to journalists in Ilorin, to
counter protest against his ministerial nomination insisted that himself and
his family registered in Oro, his hometown,adding that he contributed in no
small means to the development of the party in his local government and the
success of the member of house of representatives from that area and challenged
the protesters‎ to cross check these facts.

The ministerial nominee who admitted that he was not in
Kwara state during the elections also said that his national assignment to the
party during the period was more important than coming to cast a single vote in
kwara state.

He further said that since nobody could deny him of being a
citizen of Kwara state, he reserved the right to stay in Lagos or any part of
Nigeria and so he deserved the ministerial nomination.

The APC spokesman also explained that the emergence of his
son as a member of Lagos state house of assembly was his own political reward
for his service to the people of the area which they willingly gave him,and so
had nothing to do with his own nomination as a minister.7
