News reports that the endorsement was announced on Sunday during a press briefing held in Ilorin, the state capital.

The elders explained that their decision followed a thorough review of aspirants vying for the governorship ticket, stating that Bolarinwa emerged as the most suitable due to his experience, integrity, and leadership capacity.

Speaking on behalf of the group, former APC legal adviser, Ladi Mustapha, said Bolarinwa possesses the intellectual strength and administrative experience needed to tackle insecurity, strengthen education, and boost socio-economic development in Kwara State.

He described the aspirant as a well-regarded politician known for honesty, sincerity, and commitment to public welfare.

Mustapha said, “At this critical juncture in Kwara’s political evolution, we firmly believe that leadership must be entrusted to an individual with proven integrity, experience, capacity, and a unifying disposition.”

He added that after careful evaluation, Bolarinwa clearly stood out among other contenders for the governorship position.

According to him, Bolarinwa’s conduct in both public and private life reflects discipline, transparency, and responsibility—qualities he said are essential for effective governance.

Mustapha also noted that Bolarinwa’s political journey spans over two decades, during which he has held various positions including councillor, local government chairman in Lagos State, and member of the House of Representatives.

He further recalled his role as APC chairman in Kwara State in 2018, describing it as evidence of his leadership strength and organisational ability.

The APC elders also highlighted Bolarinwa’s unifying influence across ethnic, religious, and political lines within the state.

They said he has built strong relationships with traditional rulers, youths, professionals, and grassroots communities, making him well-positioned to promote peace and inclusive governance.

Mustapha added that Bolarinwa’s involvement in political mobilisation over the years demonstrates his deep understanding of Kwara’s political structure and his capacity to lead effectively.

He further described him as a God-fearing leader who views public office as a platform for service, rooted in justice, compassion, and development-oriented leadership.

“Kwara deserves a leader who is tested, trusted, and connected to the people,” Mustapha said, expressing confidence that Bolarinwa’s leadership would bring unity and sustainable development.

Responding to questions, former Deputy Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Raphael Adetiba, said the APC operates on internal democracy and structure, where competence remains the key factor in leadership selection.

He stressed that while every qualified citizen has the right to contest, emphasis should be placed on capacity and the ability to deliver results.

Adetiba reaffirmed that APC stakeholders remain committed to unity and ensuring the emergence of a candidate capable of sustaining peace, progress, and development in Kwara State.
