Kwara APC Aspirants Petition Tinubu Over Candidate Imposition

Ten aggrieved aspirants from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State have submitted a petition to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding the imposition of Yakubu Danladi, the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, as the party's gubernatorial candidate for the 2027 general elections. The petition describes the situation as a controversial outcome of the recent governorship primary elections.

The aspirants express concern that the current trajectory could lead to electoral losses for the APC in Kwara State, warning that the party's future success is at risk. They urge President Tinubu to critically assess the developments in Kwara State and the circumstances surrounding the primary election results, which they allege were not conducted fairly.

The letter emphasizes the need for unity and inclusivity within the party to restore confidence and strengthen the APC's support base ahead of the elections.
