The Ilorin Emirate Political Advisory Council (IEPAC) has reaffirmed its endorsement of Senator Saliu Mustapha as its preferred governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Kwara State.
The council also renewed its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, describing him as the preferred presidential candidate of the Ilorin Emirate in the forthcoming general elections.
The position of the council was announced on Sunday during a press conference in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
Speaking on behalf of the council, its National Coordinator, Dr. Yakub Yahaya Oloriegbe, alongside the National Secretary, Lt. Col. Abubakar Edun (Rtd), said the aspiration of Senator Mustapha had become a collective project of the Ilorin Emirate and pledged the council’s commitment to its actualisation.
The council consequently urged the senator, who represents Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, to consider all available political options in pursuing his governorship ambition.
