The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, on Tuesday, officially presented the Independent National Electoral Commission nomination form to its governorship candidate, Yakubu Danladi-Salihu.
The development has, however, failed to draw an immediate response from the coalition of aggrieved governorship aspirants known as the G10, despite the group’s sustained opposition to the outcome of the party’s primaries.
Danladi-Salihu, who is also the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, received the nomination form from the state APC Chairman, Sunday Fagbemi, during a ceremony at the party’s state secretariat in Ilorin.
The event, attended by party leaders, executives, stakeholders and supporters, formally confirmed Danladi-Salihu as the APC’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election and marked another milestone in the party’s preparations for the poll.
The development, however, comes amid lingering internal disagreements within the Kwara APC following the governorship primaries held on May 22, in which Danladi-Salihu defeated 14 other aspirants to emerge as the party’s flag-bearer after polling 94,990 votes.
