2027 Kwara Guber: KCMEPGG Faults IEPAC’s Endorsement Of Senator Saliu Mustapha, Warns APC Against Committing ‘Political Suicide’

Ahead of the 2027 Kwara State governorship election, a group, the Kwara Citizens Movement for Ethical Politics and Good Governance (KCMEPGG) on Thursday faulted Ilorin Emirate Political Advisory Council’s endorsement of Senator Saliu Mustapha’s candidacy while accusing the federal lawmaker and his ‘collaborators’ of engaging in dangerous political scheming to manipulate the APC governorship nomination process.

KCMEPGG also accused the senator of trying to deceive the presidency and making an attempt to blackmail APC leaders and hoodwink Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq while working towards getting party nomination through propaganda, financial inducement, and calculated misinformation.

The group also claimed that the senator is not truly loyal to Mr President.

‘We say clearly and unequivocally: Kwara State must not be sacrificed on the altar of deceit.
The APC must not commit political suicide and the people of Kwara State deserve better.

The presidency deserves honesty and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq deserves a credible successor, not an adversary in disguise

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu deserves genuine loyalty not opportunistic performance’ the group said.

KCMEPGG in a co-signed statement by Alhaji Abdulhakeem Gafar (Kwara Central), ⁠Hajia Nana-Hawau Alabidun (Kwara Central), ⁠Hon Mathew Segun (Kwara South) and ⁠Awwal Adamu Aka Matachi Ndoro – (Kwara North) which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Thursday accused Senator Saliu Mustapha of having a business relationship with former CBN governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele while also hobnobbing with opposition figures like Mr Rotimi Amaechi and former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

‘The question before Kwarans today is simple:

WHO REALLY IS SENATOR SOLIU MUSTAPHA?

Before the 2023 elections, what verifiable record of transparent enterprise, public service, or known economic contribution existed in his name?

What established business institution was publicly known and operational under his stewardship?

What visible industrial footprint existed in Kwara State under his leadership?

What legacy of employment generation or community development was associated with him before his sudden political rise?

How did he suddenly acquire the enormous financial war chest that served as the backbone of his politics of inducement, emergency philanthropy, and media propaganda in the run-up to the 2023 elections and currently?

Kwarans deserve answers!!! Nigerians deserve answers !!! and The presidency deserves to know the truth’ the statement said.

They also accused the federal lawmaker of repaying good deeds with bad deeds adding that he had only become a senator in 2023 through the support of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

 ‘We also remind the public that Senator Soliu Mustapha’s emergence as Senator in 2023 was largely aided by the goodwill, tolerance, and support of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and the APC structure in Kwara State.

Yet, almost immediately after securing victory on the platform of the APC, he ferociously turned against the same political family that lifted him.

He began subtle and open acts of hostility. He openly commenced strategic moves to undermine the governor with impunity.

He began plotting 2027 from day one. This is not loyalty. This is betrayal’ the group said.

The statement noted that the 2027 Kwara State gubernatorial election is too important; and the APC must field a candidate with ‘unquestionable loyalty, transparent antecedents, a known history of enterprise, verifiable record of service, genuine grassroots acceptance, integrity, respect for party leadership, respect for the governor, respect and loyalty to the president and ultimately genuine respect for the people’.

KCMEPGG warned that anything less will amount to ‘political suicide’ while urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and APC national leaders to immediately subject all aspirants to ‘a rigorous integrity, loyalty, and background screening’ adding that ‘the future of our state is too precious and the legacy of the president is too important .The sacrifice of the governor is too significant and Kwara must not be sold to deception’-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
