Fresh cracks have emerged within the Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress as the state’s three senators joined aggrieved governorship aspirants in rejecting the outcome of the party’s recent primaries, calling for urgent reconciliation to avert a deeper crisis ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The lawmakers, under the aegis of the Kwara APC Senate Caucus, called for a review of the governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives and state House of Assembly primaries.
This comes as a group of 10 governorship aspirants urged President Bola Tinubu to resist what they described as attempts to use the state’s traditional institution to secure endorsement for the party’s governorship candidate,Yakubu Danladi-Salihu.
In a communiqué issued on Tuesday after a joint session and signed by Saliu Mustapha (Kwara Central), Oyelola Ashiru (Kwara South) and Sadiq Umar (Kwara North), the lawmakers said the party was passing through a critical period requiring urgent intervention.
The senators lamented what they described as the exclusion of legitimate stakeholders from key decision-making processes.
