  "account": "In 2027, Kwara is considered a state that is off-limits for the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Governor of Kwara State and Chairman of the Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum (NGF). AbdulRazaq stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been the dominant party in Kwara since 2019, and the party's consistent victories have made it a challenging territory for the PDP. He also mentioned that the inclusion of Nyesom Wike, the PDP National leader and FCT Minister, in the APC Presidential Campaign Council would further solidify the APC's victory in Kwara. The governor received a delegation from the APC Presidential Campaign Council led by Director General, Senator AbdulAziz Abubakar Yari, and they visited the Emir of Ilorin and the Chairman of Kwara State Council of Chiefs during their tour. The APC team, including former governors, members of the National Assembly, and party executives, expressed their gratitude for the governor's support and their commitment to the success of the APC nationwide. Yari also visited the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and other traditional leaders to seek their blessings and support for the upcoming 2027 general election.",
