Saraki's Meeting with APC G15 Member Sparks Kwara Politics

Bukola Saraki met with Seriki, a prominent member of the aggrieved All Progressives Congress (APC) group known as the G15, at the Kursi Group headquarters in Abuja. While the meeting was framed around business interests, its timing has ignited political discussions in Kwara, particularly concerning the G15's opposition to the APC's governorship candidate, Salihu Yakubu Danladi, for the 2027 election.

The G15 has been active in consultations with The Otoge Progressives (TOP), the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and the emerging Rainbow Coalition. Despite claims from the government camp that the G15 has lost momentum due to defections back to the APC, G15 members assert their continued activity and unity.

Notably, Senator Saliu Mustapha's defection from the APC to the PDP, where he secured the ticket for the Kwara Central senatorial district, has further complicated the political dynamics. Saraki's meeting with Seriki is significant due to their political rivalry with Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who previously had Seriki as a key ally in his campaigns.
