The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, rose from its meeting on Monday, declaring the Kwara State Executive of the party dissolved.
The decision is an obvious move to take the control of the party in the state away from Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Although Saraki has not announced his defection, there are strong indications that he would leave the party.
The dissolution of the state executive was announced by the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, in Abuja.
He was supported by the National Secretary of the party, Mai Mala Buni.
The party also announced that a caretaker committee would be inaugurated to take charge of the activities in the state.
It is to be chaired by Bashir Bolarinwa.
Similarly, the party said caretaker committees would be inaugurated to take charge of activities at the wards and local governments.
The party said the resolution was taken following latest developments in the party in Kwara State.
It stated that the power to carry out the dissolution of the state executive was in pursuant to the provisions of article 13.4 (xvi) and (xvii) of the APC’s Constitution.

APC stated: “The NWC at its meeting of 30th July, 2018, examined the unfolding developments within the party in Kwara State.
“Specifically, the irregularities that characterised the conduct and outcome of the congresses that produced the leadership of the party at all levels.
“The committee also reviewed the actions of some of the leaders of the party that emerged from the above congresses who participated in an open rally calling on the Senate President to decamp to the PDP.”
