Saliu Mustapha, the senator representing the Kwara Central Senatorial District, has expressed strong optimism regarding his bid to unseat Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the upcoming contest for the district’s Senate seat.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Mustapha recently transitioned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), emerging as the party’s standard-bearer for the senatorial race. He attributed his exit from the ruling party to inadequate consultation and the governor’s mismanagement of political interests within the APC fold.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Mustapha addressed whether he could defeat the incumbent governor in a direct contest for the senatorial ticket, asserting that his victory would be decided early in the process. He stated that he expected to secure a definitive lead early in the day, emphasizing the high level of public interest the race would attract.
Additionally, Mustapha noted that former Senate President Bukola Saraki is reportedly backing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, despite maintaining his leadership role within the Kwara State PDP. According to Mustapha, Saraki is aligned with the coalition supporting the administration, drawing a parallel to other political figures who maintain dual alignment across party and governmental lines.
