Following the recent warning letter issued by lawyers to wife of former Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki over libellous publications being made against her person, officials of the Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have denied knowledge and authority over the social media platforms that have been circulating the false allegations.
In a response sent to Mrs. Saraki’ s lawyers on 28th August 2019, the state APC executive stated that the platforms have no relationship with the party.
Details of the letter are as follows:
RE- CEASE AND DESIST CAUTION TO KWARA STATE APC
We write on behalf of Kwara State APC Executive being the state legal adviser to respond to your letter on the above subject matter and dated 19th August, 2019.
We are pleased to inform you that there has never been no time where the entire Executive of this party in Kwara State met or agreed at any meeting to make any publication in respect of the former First Lady of the state Mrs. Toyin Saraki and that the Executive body of the party in the state have never made such publication as claimed by your client.
Furthermore, that there are many media platforms created by loving members of the party within the state and which are different from Kwara State APC Executive. More so, the State Executive Committee has no media platform created to ourself as claimed.
As a result, therefore, the Kwara State APC Chairman or the entire members of Executive Committee are innocent of the allegation as to the said publication against the former First Lady of Kwara State.
Thanks
Yours sincerely,
Oladimeji Mustapha Esq.
Kwara State Legal Adviser APC
S.A. Akanbi Esq.”
However, it believed that the disclaimer might be an attempt to avoid culpability in any legal proceedings, as the same @MediaApc platform was actively making statements on behalf of the Kwara State APC and administration of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, even as at the time of going to press.
In another development however, Rafiu Ajakaiye, a spokesman to the Kwara State Governor Abdul Rahman Abdulrazaq has also issued a public disclaimer of social media accounts on Twitter stating:
*Public Advisory on Kwara State Governor Social Media Handles*

This is to inform the general public that @RealAARahman is the only authentic social media identity or handle owned by and linked to the Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
