APC and PDP Hold Rival Rallies in Kwara Ahead of 2027
The political rivalry between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State intensified as both parties held separate rallies in Ilorin to demonstrate grassroots strength ahead of the 2027 general elections. This mobilization occurred amidst deepening divisions within the APC, particularly following Senator Saliu Mustapha's defection to the PDP.
Mustapha is now the PDP candidate for the Kwara Central senatorial seat, competing against Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who is seeking the APC senatorial ticket. The governor's support for Yakubu Danladi-Salihu as the APC governorship candidate has caused discontent among influential party stakeholders.
The APC women's rally, led by Monsurat Abimbola Lawal, aimed to garner support for President Bola Tinubu and other candidates, while the PDP rally, convened by Mallam Abdulkadir Issa, focused on strengthening its grassroots structure across Ilorin West Local Government Area.
