The Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress has summoned the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.
He is to answer to charges of embarking on anti-party activities for unveiling a parallel party Secretariat in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
It was learnt that the minister was asked to appear in person to explain to the party leadership why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for the infraction.
The minister was also instructed to close down the parallel secretariat to avoid further sanctions.
When asked, the Secretary of the CECPC, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, did not confirm or deny the summons.
He said, “I cannot confirm or deny what you are asking me because as you know, the Honourable Minister is an elder in this party and we shall accord him the respect he deserves.
“The party will not allow anything to put him to disrepute.
“The party, on the other hand, will not allow anybody to violate the constitution of the party.“
Meanwhile, Kwara State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it would take action against Lai Mohammed, over his recent outburst against the state governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
