  • He praised the youth turnout as a sign of endorsement for his administration and the party's governorship candidate, Salihu Yakubu Danladi, emphasizing the need for continued hard work despite the opposition's weakened state.

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state is significantly stronger and well-positioned to secure an overwhelming victory in the upcoming 2027 general election. His remarks came during the APC Youth Engagement 2026 event held in Ilorin.

AbdulRazaq detailed how his administration, upon taking office in 2019, inherited a "collapsed system" and has since worked to rectify issues in education, healthcare, and infrastructure. He specifically defended the competence of the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly and APC governorship candidate, Hon. Salihu Yakubu Danladi (SYD), highlighting SYD's integral role in the administration's projects and his nearly eight years of experience as Speaker.

SYD is part and parcel of this administration. All the projects that you see us doing today were appropriated under his leadership at the state House of Assembly.

"SYD is part and parcel of this administration. All the projects that you see us doing today were appropriated under his leadership at the state House of Assembly," the governor stated, questioning the opposition's claims of SYD lacking experience. He urged party faithful to intensify their efforts in organizing at the ward, zone, and polling booth levels to ensure victory.

"We are not complacent but at the same time, our party has now become stronger than ever, while the opposition is much weaker than how they were in the previous elections," AbdulRazaq said. He expressed happiness with the large turnout of youth, viewing it as a strong endorsement of his leadership and SYD's candidacy. He recalled the dire state of the state in 2018-2019, mentioning issues like unpaid civil servant salaries and a collapsed education sector due to diverted funds.

We are not complacent but at the same time, our party has now become stronger than ever, while the opposition is much weaker than how they were in the previous elections.
