  "summary": "The Kwara State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has mocked Governor AbdulRazaq and the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the resignation of Senator Saliu Mustapha. According to Daily Trust, Mustapha, who represents Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, announced his resignation in a statement, citing recent developments within the party.\n\nMustapha's decision to leave the APC followed weeks of consultations and engagements with stakeholders, supporters, and constituents. He stated that his conviction that politics should be driven by people, principles, and purpose no longer aligned with the party's path. The Premium Times reported that Mustapha's resignation letter was dated August 14.\n\nThe Daily Post Nigeria reported that Mustapha's resignation 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. The Punch Nigeria reported that the Kwara PDP cited a deepening crisis within the Kwara APC following Mustapha's resignation.",
