Kwara APC chieftain and gubernatorial aspirant, Prof. Wale Sulaiman during his official declaration in Ilorin on Thursday. A chieftain and governorship aspirant of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Professor Wale Sulaiman, has dismissed speculations surrounding the emergence of a consensus candidate ahead of the 2027 governorship election in the state.

Sulaiman indicated this on Thursday during his official declaration for his governorship ambition in Ilorin, the state capital, insisting that the process for choosing the party’s candidate remained open and constitutionally guided. The APC stalwart, who formally joined the growing list of aspirants seeking to succeed Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, indicated reports of endorsement or zoning arrangements in favour of any aspirant should be disregarded.

He indicated, “I want to let the public know that no consensus candidate has been chosen. The process of choosing a candidate is very clearly defined in the constitution of our great party and in the Electoral Act. “For there to be a consensus candidate, all the aspirants must sign an undertaking that they are stepping down. Not just that, they must endorse the consensus candidate.

If otherwise, direct primaries is the remaining option. “Every other thing that you’re hearing outside is just rumour.
