APC in Kwara State Faces Internal Strife Over Zoning and Succession Ahead of 2027 Elections

The APC in Kwara State is facing internal tensions over zoning and succession as the 2027 gubernatorial elections approach. Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq is navigating the delicate balance between various interests across the state's three senatorial districts.

Sundai Fagbemi, the APC Chairman in Kwara, has hinted at the party's undecided stance on zoning the governorship ticket for 2027. The emergence of potential successors like Saba Yisa Gideon and Yakubu Danladi Salihu has added complexity to the political landscape.

Gideon's suspension for allegedly not supporting Salihu's governorship ambition has deepened the rift within the party. Salihu is being touted as a strong contender for the governorship, with his legislative experience and grassroots connections highlighted.

The political maneuvering signals a brewing power struggle within the APC in Kwara State.
