Kwara PDP mocks AbdulRazaq, APC over Mustapha’s exit

Senator Saliu Mustapha has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to reports, his decision to leave the party followed recent developments within the APC, particularly the governorship primary election. Mustapha, who represents Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, announced his resignation in a statement addressed to the chairman of his ward.

The Daily Trust reports that Mustapha's departure comes after months of tension surrounding the APC's governorship primary, which produced Speaker Yakubu Danladi Salihu as the party's candidate for the 2027 governorship election. Mustapha said he did not arrive at the decision hastily, stressing that it followed weeks of consultations and engagements with political stakeholders, supporters, and constituents.

The Punch reports that the Kwara PDP has mocked Governor AbdulRazaq and the APC over Mustapha's exit, citing a deepening crisis within the Kwara APC.
