A coalition of Christian communities in Kwara State has called for an end to what it described as decades of Muslim dominance in the state’s governorship, urging President Bola Tinubu to support the emergence of a Christian candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 election.
The group, operating under the umbrella of the Conglomerate of Kwara State Christian Communities, said producing a Christian governor would address longstanding concerns over equity, inclusiveness and fair representation in the state’s political leadership.
The position was contained in an open letter dated June 27, 2026, jointly signed by Rev. Felix Ajide, Amb. Samson Abomire, Dr David Olayemi and Engr. Patrick Agbejokha.
The letter, obtained by PUNCH Online on Monday, was also addressed to the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq; Senate President, Godswill Akpabio; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
