There is confusion over the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary in Kwara State as party members await the commencement of the exercise across the state.
The confusion arises from reports that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has withdrawn his earlier endorsement of businessman and politician Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki-Gambari, as his preferred successor.
The governor reportedly switched his support behind the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, ahead of the shadow poll rescheduled from Thursday to Friday.
Multiple sources familiar with developments within the ruling party confirmed the change to PREMIUM TIMES on Friday amid growing tension over the APC succession battle in the state.
Mr Danladi-Salihu, who represents Ilesha/Gwanara constituency and hails from Kwara North Senatorial District, is contesting in the primary, scheduled to begin after the Muslim Friday congregational prayers.
