The Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Saliu Mustapha, has officially submitted his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest the 2027 governorship election in Kwara State under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Mr Mustapha is the Chairman Senate Committee on Agriculture Production Services and Rural Development. He’s also the Turaki of Ilorin Emirate.
He is seen within party circles as a formidable contender amid renewed concerns over the resurgence of the opposition PDP led by former Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Announcing the development on his verified social media pages, the senator described the submission of the forms as a major step in his political journey toward leading Kwara State.
“I have formally submitted my Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Primary Ticket for Kwara State.
“This marks my official entry into the party’s screening process and represents a significant step in the journey toward building a more progressive and inclusive Kwara State.
