  "account": "Kwara Central Senator Saliu Mustapha has announced his intention to defeat Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the upcoming 2027 senatorial election, according to a statement made on Friday during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today. Mustapha confidently asserted that he would secure victory well before the official announcement of the final results, with the victory anticipated to be achieved by 1 pm on the election day. The race for the Kwara Central Senatorial seat is currently being contested by AbdulRazaq, who is representing the All Progressives Congress, APC. In a statement, Mustapha expressed his optimism, saying, \"I would have won that election 12 o’clock before 1 o’clock, In Sha Allah, in the senatorial race. It will be one election Nigerians would be waiting to see the results.\" Mustapha's recent decision to leave the incumbent APC party for the opposing Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stems from his dissatisfaction with the lack of adequate consultation and ineffective management of political interests within the APC led by Governor AbdulRazaq.",
