APC Pursues Consensus for Kwara Governorship in 2027

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is initiating a search for its governorship candidate in Kwara State for the 2027 elections, focusing on a consensus arrangement to enhance party unity and reduce internal conflicts. This strategy has been employed successfully in other states, including Lagos and Osun, where candidates emerged with minimal friction.

Saliu Mustapha, a prominent figure within the APC, is being considered as a potential consensus candidate. His profile is compelling due to his connections and financial backing, positioning him as a viable contender.

The party's leadership, including Bola Tinubu, is involved in discussions to solidify this approach. The APC's efforts reflect a broader strategy to maintain cohesion and address historical grievances among various constituencies in Kwara, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections.
