In Kwara Central senatorial district of Kwara state, the exit of Senator Saliu Mustapha from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not impact the party's electoral success in the upcoming general election. This was declared by stakeholders of the APC after a press conference in Ilorin. They emphasized that the achievements of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq under his administration have left an indelible mark on the party's electoral success.
Hon. Ibrahim Sulyman Salah, representing Gambari Ward 1, and Mr. Baba Gobir Abdullahi, chairman of the 51 APC ward chairmen in the senatorial district, addressed the media. They highlighted tangible progress in road construction, urban renewal, healthcare, education, and economic empowerment as proof of the AbdulRazaq administration's impact on the lives of ordinary Kwarans.
Salah specifically mentioned the completion of 113.57 kilometers of roads and the ongoing work on 65.5 kilometers, stating that these projects had supported businesses, youths, and vulnerable residents. Gobir reaffirmed the loyalty of the 51 APC ward chairmen in Kwara Central to AbdulRazaq and dismissed Mustapha's defection as a personal decision, not indicative of voter aspirations.
He urged Kwarans not to be distracted by the "political tourism" of individuals, asserting that the APC remains committed to prioritising the welfare of ordinary Kwarans.
