Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the seven local government areas in Kwara South Senatorial District have endorsed Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki as the party’s preferred governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Kwara State.

The endorsement was announced in a statement issued on Tuesday after a meeting of the party leaders in the district.

The APC chairmen commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for what they described as a strategic decision aimed at sustaining the developmental policies and achievements of the current administration.

According to the statement, the governor’s leadership and performance over the years have earned him the credibility to influence the emergence of a successor capable of consolidating on his administration’s programmes.

“We in Kwara South APC fully align with the decision of His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, in supporting Ambassador Yahaya Seriki as the preferred governorship candidate of our great party ahead of the 2027 election,” the statement read.

The party leaders described Seriki as a loyal party member with strong grassroots connections and the leadership capacity required to move the state forward.

They added that his experience, competence, and political maturity make him well-positioned to continue the policies and projects of the present administration.

The chairmen also pledged to mobilise party members, youths, women, and stakeholders across the district in support of Seriki during the APC primaries and the general election.

“As party leaders at the grassroots, we consider it our responsibility to unite our members and work tirelessly for the success of the party and the emergence of Ambassador Yahaya Seriki as the next Governor of Kwara State,” the statement added.
