Bukola Saraki Eyes Political Comeback in Kwara State

Bukola Saraki is actively pursuing a political resurgence in Kwara State, aiming to re-establish his influence ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. His current strategy includes engaging with stakeholders through a medical outreach program and maintaining alliances to keep his political machinery operational.

Saraki's movement comes amidst internal divisions within the APC, which he seeks to exploit to create a platform for his return to the Senate, specifically targeting the Kwara Central seat. This move is seen as a way to position himself without needing to lead a full state takeover during the electoral cycle.

Additionally, Hassan Oladimeji, a former ally, has publicly announced that Saraki is no longer a political leader, indicating a shift in the political landscape. As Saraki navigates these complexities, the question remains whether his efforts will be sufficient to secure a significant role in the 2027 elections, with the political dynamics in Kwara expected to evolve over the coming year.
