The deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Yekini Nabena, has described the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed as a total failure in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Nabena, the minister can no longer catch up with time unless he works with his governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State as Mohammed has been left behind in the scheme of things in APC.
Lai Mohammed had called Yekini Nabena an impostor for advising him to work with his State Governor and allow peace to reign in the ongoing nationwide membership registration and revalidation exercise of the party.
Nabena who replied the Minister through a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday, insisted that; ”Lai Mohammed should go back to his state chapter (Kwara) if he is still relevant there and work with the governor and other stakeholders for his voice to be heard at the national level.”
According to Nabena, Lai Mohammed and his ‘gang’ are calling for the cancellation of the registration exercise for their selfish interest, adding that, “the details of evil plans to destroy the APC by the likes of the minister has been exposed and the party leadership is fully aware”.
He also said; “At the right time, Lai Mohammed and his gang will be exposed and Nigerians will then know the real impostor, that time is sooner.”
Responding on the allegation of imposition, Nabena said Lai Mohammed does not understand that “NEC can’t commit suicide and give birth to Caretaker Committee because it is the highest body of the party. Even the President, the governors, Senate President and the Speaker are all members of the NEC. So, if NEC commits suicide, that shows there is no more party.
“Time has left Lai Mohammed behind and he can’t catch up with time.
”Lai Mohammed and his fifth columnists are the biggest problems of this administration. As the Minister of Information and Culture that is supposed to explain the policies and programmes, including remarkable achievements of this administration to Nigerians, Lai Muhammed has failed woefully. Whatever he says is considered as a lie. If not, Lai should tell Nigerians what has been his contributions in the last five years,” Nabena dared the Minister.
He also mentioned that for Lai Mohammed to know the real impostor, he should ask himself and his fifth columnists gang within the APC that are bearing names that are not in the party’s constitution.”
Recall that Lai Mohammed on Tuesday described Nabena as an impostor in response to a statement credited to him on the ongoing membership revalidation exercise of the APC in Kwara State.
Mohammed had called for the cancellation of APC revalidation in Kwara State over alleged irregularities.
