Jonathan Eze

Frontline governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Saliu Mustapha, has firmly declared that he remains in the race for the party’s governorship ticket and will participate in the APC gubernatorial primary election scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026.

The senator dismissed widespread reports claiming that he either withdrew from or lost the APC Kwara Central Senatorial primary election in Ilorin, insisting that he never participated in the contest in the first place.

According to him, his political focus has always been on the governorship race and not the Senate.
