Kwara groups endorse ex-APC chairman for guber seat

In Kwara South, political currents are shifting as key APC factions rally behind Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa, a former state chairman, for the 2027 governorship election. This move signals a potential realignment within the state's political landscape, with groups like the APC Offa Solidarity Movement and APC Progressive Network for BOB 2027 throwing their weight behind Bolarinwa.

“

At a time like this, when our state faces both opportunities and challenges, we need a leader who is prepared and people-centred.

Leaders within these movements have lauded Bolarinwa as a beacon of purposeful and transformative leadership, emphasizing the need for a prepared, people-centered individual to navigate the state's socio-economic challenges. Prince Olubunmi Isioye of the APC Offa Solidarity Movement highlighted Bolarinwa's consistent commitment to the populace, while Engineer Shittu Muideen of the APC Progressive Network for BOB 2027 praised his unifying and grassroots mobilization capabilities.

Hon. Bolarinwa has consistently demonstrated commitment to the welfare of the people.

Adding a layer of political strategy, these groups have actively challenged the notion of zoning the governorship, asserting that the APC constitution does not mandate such arrangements. This stance, echoed by former party officials like Tajudeen Folaranmi Aro, underscores a belief in the constitutional right of any qualified member to seek office, framing Bolarinwa's candidacy as a matter of democratic principle rather than regional entitlement. The collective push for Bolarinwa appears to be a calculated effort to consolidate support and present a strong, unified front for the upcoming electoral cycle.
