Former Kwara State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the 2023 election, Hakeem Lawal, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Lawal, son of the late former Kwara State Governor, Muhammad Lawal, stated this on Saturday in Ilorin, while formally declaring his support for Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and the APC’s governorship candidate, Yakubu Salihu-Danladi.
The declaration came months after Lawal returned to the APC, having contested the 2023 governorship election on the platform of the SDP.
The former governorship candidate said he had deliberately remained silent about his political position in recent months despite questions over his allegiance.
