Execute a statement after logging in to SSH

I am writing a script in which i have to execute a set of statments after logging in via SSH. So i am using this command

ssh -t  [email protected] $COMMAND "&& exec bash -l"

Now this works if i give COMMAND as any single line statement such as ls or mkdir, but its not working if i put the following in COMMAND

COMMAND= "if [ $B==$A ]
             then
             echo 'ERROR'
          fi "

I tried putting \ at the end of each line,changed the indentation,put it into a single line but its throwing error 

fi : command not found
syntax error near unexpected token `&&'

The first problem is the ssh statement itself. ssh command should be run like:

ssh -t [email protected] $COMMAND && exec bash -l

Second one is that COMMAND variable should be assigned as one line like:

COMMAND="if [ $B==$A ]; then echo 'ERROR'; fi;"

I hope this helps.
