Concerned members of the Kwara State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have written to President Bola Tinubu, raising alarm over what they described as actions by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq that could undermine the party’s fortunes ahead of the 2027 General elections.
In a letter dated April 22, 2025, and signed by Olosasa Toyin, Onimasa Hazmat Ganeey, and Abdulraheem Alabi, the group expressed support for the President’s economic reforms, but warned that developments in Kwara risk eroding public trust in the APC.
The petition, copied to Nentawe Yilwatda, APC National Chairman, accused the governor of alienating party leaders and grassroots supporters through what they termed ‘undemocratic and coercive measures,’ including the alleged use of security agencies and litigation against party members.
They further claimed that rising insecurity in parts of the state had not been met with adequate empathy or response from the governor, a situation they said was damaging the party’s image.
The group also faulted Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq’s alleged attempt to influence succession politics, particularly his reported backing of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Danladi Yakubu, describing it as self-serving and capable of deepening divisions within the party.
They urged President Tinubu to urgently intervene, warning that failure to address the issues could weaken the APC’s chances in Kwara in 2027.
However, AbdulRazaq could not be reached for comment as of press time.
