APC Members in Kwara Defect to PDP Supporting Mustapha
On October 2, 2026, hundreds of members from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Balogun Fulani Ward 2, Kwara Central Senatorial District, defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in support of Senator Saliu Mustapha. This formal defection occurred during a rally named “Hijra with Turaki,” organized to celebrate Senator Mustapha's candidacy for the Kwara Central Senatorial District under the PDP.
The defectors, part of the Saliu Mustapha Supporters group, expressed their loyalty to the senator and their intention to follow him in his new political journey. During the rally, attendees marched through the community, waving PDP flags and chanting Senator Mustapha's name.
The phrase “Hijra with Turaki” was chosen to symbolize their commitment to the senator, who is referred to as the Turaki of Ilorin. The group pledged to mobilize further support for the PDP and enhance the party's presence in the region ahead of the 2027 elections.
