2027: Kwara APC Stakeholders Declare Support For Consensus-Driven Nomination Process
APC stakeholders in Kwara State have expressed their readiness to support the consensus-driven nomination process adopted by the leadership of the party ahead of the 2027 general election.
The stakeholders from the three senatorial districts in the state declared support for the consensus-driven nomination process during the press conference held in Ilorin on Thursday while also expressing their confidence in the leadership of the party at both the state and national levels.
The press conference was attended by journalists including Team@orientactualmags.com.
Chairman and Secretary of the Amalgamated APC Elders and Stakeholders Forum, Professor Khalid Dasuki and Amb. Julius Balogun, who spoke on behalf of the party chieftains, said the elders and stakeholders will respect the decision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and the APC National Working Committee (NWC) headed by Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.
They noted that the party leadership has demonstrated commendable foresight in states that include Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos through the promotion of consensus arrangements aimed at strengthening internal unity and cohesion.
‘We are proud of the proactive leadership that has been demonstrated by the president and the party in neighbouring states like Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos.
We trust in the judgment and wisdom of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to safely, seamlessly and smartly navigate the affairs of our great party in Kwara State as well’ they said.
The leaders of the group recalled that it was President Tinubu’s intervention and good leadership that helped to stabilize the APC in Kwara State ahead of the 2019 elections, leading to the emergence of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as guber candidate and the eventual success of the ‘Otoge’ political movement.
‘The president already has a positive precedent with us here in Kwara. It was through his fatherly wisdom and superior leadership that the party was successfully navigated in 2019, producing our amiable governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
We are proud of the remarkable milestones achieved so far by the governor, and we remain grateful for that historic and strategic decision taken in 2019’ the APC stakeholders added.
They however urged the party leadership to support a candidate who is widely popular, broadly acceptable, credible, competent and capable of confronting what they described as the growing threat posed by the opposition camp in the state.
‘With the Otoge Revolution of 2019, Kwara State was liberated from the shackles of godfatherism, misgovernance and underdevelopment. The state cannot afford to go back to Egypt.
Therefore, we jointly and collectively express our willingness, readiness and resolve to abide by the party’s consensus arrangement in Kwara State, just like it has been done successfully in other states’ they added.
The leaders added that party stakeholders across the state are ready to mobilise thousands of APC members in support of whatever decision that’s eventually taken by the leadership of the party.
‘We are fully committed to rallying party faithful across Kwara State behind this decision in order to ensure that the APC continues to retain the levers of power in the state beyond 2027’ they said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
