Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress across 52 wards in Kwara Central have endorsed Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for the senatorial seat of the district in the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was announced during a media briefing in Ilorin on Wednesday, where the party leaders declared their collective support for the Governor’s potential bid for the National Assembly.
Speaking on behalf of the forum, chairman of the APC Ward Chairmen Forum, Alhaji Abdullahi Baba Gobir, said the decision was unanimous and driven by the desire to sustain quality leadership beyond the state level.
“Our resolve to encourage Governor AbdulRazaq to contest for the senatorial seat is not borne out of personal interest, but a collective desire to see continuity of purposeful leadership, experience and people oriented governance at a higher level,” Gobir said.
Daily Trust reports that Senator Saliu Mustapha, who succeeded Senator Yahaya Oloriegbe, is the incumbent representing Kwara Central in the Senate.
Both Mustapha and Oloriegbe are widely believed to be eyeing the governorship seat, as AbdulRazaq is currently serving his second and final term in office.
