The APC stakeholders also rejected what they described as attempts to secure a third-term Senate ticket for the Deputy Senate Leader of the 10th National Assembly, Senator Lola Ashiru, ahead of the party’s senatorial primary scheduled for Monday. based on Alabi, the warning became necessary to protect internal democracy and preserve the party’s dominance in Kwara State. He showed, “Today, we speak as a committed APC group in Kwara South.

We are united by one common objective: to ensure that the ongoing primary elections in our state are conducted in a free, fair, transparent, credible, and democratic manner that will strengthen our party ahead of the forthcoming general elections. ” the Senate primary remained critical to the unity and future stability of the APC in Kwara South and the state at large. “The Senate primaries are, by the grace of God, another very important exercise taking place on Monday, 18th May 2026.

As stakeholders who believe deeply in the unity, stability, and future victory of our great party, we consider it necessary to address the public at this critical moment. “Our appeal today is simple, sincere, and patriotic: let the right things be done. ” Alabi warned that any attempt to impose unpopular candidates on party members could create cracks within the APC and provide opportunities for opposition parties to stage a comeback in the state.
