PDP Welcomes APC Defectors in Kwara Ahead of 2027 Elections
Supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Alapa Onire-Odegiwa Ward, Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State, defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on October 3, 2026. The defectors were welcomed by Prof. Fatai Aremu, the PDP candidate for Ilorin West and Asa Federal Constituency, and Hon. Abdullahi Magaji, the party’s candidate for the Owode-Onire Constituency seat in the Kwara State House of Assembly.
This event is significant as Alapa Onire-Odegiwa is known as a stronghold for prominent APC figures, including Lati Alakawa and engineer Musa Yeketi. The defectors, led by Abdullahi Garuba Omo Alimah and Akanji Kusumu, expressed their belief in the PDP's capability to improve governance in Kwara State.
They pledged their support for Aremu and Magaji and committed to working with the PDP as the party mobilizes for the upcoming 2027 elections.
