Saliu Mustapha's Political Future in Jeopardy After APC Primary
Saliu Mustapha, a significant political figure in Kwara, was a strong aspirant for the APC governorship ticket but lost to Yakubu Danladi Salihu, who emerged as the party's candidate. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's name has been published by INEC as the APC candidate for the Kwara Central Senatorial District, complicating Mustapha's political ambitions.
Despite his efforts and campaign across the state, Mustapha's aspirations for the governorship in 2027 have ended. There were expectations that he might be compensated with a Senate return, but with AbdulRazaq now the candidate, those hopes have diminished.
The relationship between Mustapha and AbdulRazaq has been reportedly strained, with public disagreements and challenges regarding constituency projects. Observers view the Senate ticket as a crucial aspect of the ongoing power dynamics within the Kwara APC as the party prepares for the future beyond 2027.
