A group of young politicians in Kwara State have appealed to aggrieved governorship aspirants in the All Progressives Congress to set aside their grievances and support the party’s governorship candidate, who is the sitting Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group, Kwara South Young Professionals in Politics, which endorsed Danladi’s candidacy in Ilorin on Friday, expressed confidence that the party would soon resolve its internal differences and retain all 35 elective positions in the state.
Speaking with Arewa PUNCH, a House of Assembly aspirant and member of the group, Abdulrosheed Akogun, said the organisation had been mobilising residents, particularly youths, to participate actively in the electoral process through voter registration and collection of Permanent Voter Cards.
He said, “We are professionals and politicians in the group. The bulk of our job is to mobilise like-minded people at the grassroots to join politics and contribute their quota, but we equally found it expedient to address the press.
“We have been mobilising people, especially the youths, towards ensuring that we have improved voter enrolment. We have equally been sensitising the people on why they must get their PVCs and vote with their conscience.”
