Kwara APC Members Petition Tinubu Over Governor's Actions

On April 22, 2026, members of the Kwara State chapter of the APC submitted an open letter to President Bola Tinubu, expressing concerns over Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's actions that they believe undermine the party's unity and electoral prospects for the upcoming 2027 general elections. The letter, signed by notable members including Toyin Olosasa and Comrad Onimasa, commended Tinubu's economic reforms but warned that the governor's policies alienate party elites and grassroots support.

They accused AbdulRazaq of failing to empathize with ordinary citizens amid rising insecurity and alleged attempts to influence internal party affairs. The petitioners claimed that the governor employed coercive tactics, including legal actions against party leaders, to enforce loyalty.

They also criticized AbdulRazaq's support for Speaker Danladi Yakubu's preferred successor, suggesting it was self-serving and aimed at protecting his legacy. The group urged Tinubu to intervene to prevent further damage to the party's image and electoral chances in Kwara State.
