The Kwara state governor, Abdulfatah ahmed , who was part of the governors that defected to APC during 2015 elections has said the people have the final say on who and what party rules them.

It is an unlikely scenario. But don’t forget that because we run an inclusive system, the followership decides the direction they want us to go. If they insist that they want to us to remain, we remain; if they want us to go, we go. When we decided to leave the PDP for the APC; it was an inclusively designed position. Inputs were taken from the ward to state levels before we took the decision we took at that time. But I must tell you that as it is today, we are comfortable with where we are and we have not seen any basis why we should leave the APC'' he said

 Recall that there have been speculations that some governors and senators are planning to form a coaltion party with former president Olusegun Obasanjo to unseat the ruling party APC and stop the opposition party, PDP, from coming back to power in 2019. Time will tell wether Governor Ahmed's comments is a hint or a mere statement.
