A former House of Representatives aspirant for Ilorin South/Ilorin East Federal Constituency on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr. Ojolowo Tunji Abdullahi, has resigned from the party and declared support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its 2027 governorship standard-bearer in Kwara State, Hon. Yakubu Danladi.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Abdullahi attributed his decision to the protracted internal crisis within the ADC, which he said had undermined the party’s capacity to provide effective leadership and pursue its political objectives.
He also cited Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s decision to zone the 2027 governorship ticket to Kwara North, as well as the emergence of Hon. Yakubu Danladi as the APC governorship candidate, as factors that influenced his move.
Abdullahi, who recently withdrew from the House of Representatives race following the internal challenges in the ADC, said he would dedicate his efforts to supporting Danladi’s governorship aspiration ahead of the 2027 general election.
The Managing Director of Embassy Foundation said the organisation would deploy its network of supporters, volunteers and beneficiaries across the state to mobilise grassroots support for the APC candidate. He maintained that it was time for Kwara North to produce the state’s governor after more than three decades.
