2027: ALGON Backs Kwara Speaker’s Guber Bid, Reaffirms AbdulRazaq’s Leadership
Stephen Olufemi Oni, Ilorin
The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Kwara State Chapter, has reiterated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state remains united, peaceful, and firmly aligned with the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
ALGON made the clarification following reactions to a recent press conference by some individuals, stressing that the views expressed did not represent the position of the 16 local government areas in the state.
A statement by the spokesman of the State ALGON, Hadji Abdulrasheed Femi Yusuf, said: “The individuals who spoke at the press conference did so in their personal capacity and did not represent any local government council or its leadership in Kwara State.
“The gathering in question was not in consultation with the recognised elders’ caucuses across the 16 local government areas, and as such does not reflect any formal or collective decision of party structures.”
ALGON has, therefore, restated that the APC primary election held on Friday, 22nd May 2026 was duly conducted in line with party guidelines, with members freely participating in the process, adding that the exercise produced Rt. Hon. Salihu Yakubu Danladi, Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, as the duly emerged candidate, and the association urged all stakeholders to respect the outcome.
The association maintained that there is no crisis within the Kwara APC, adding that the party remains stable, focused, and committed to the continued development agenda of the AbdulRazaq-led administration.
It further noted that APC remains a united family where internal democracy produces both winners and those who may not emerge successful, stressing that all members are ultimately working towards a common goal of party success and good governance in Kwara State.
According to ALGON, the APC in Kwara State has continued to grow stronger under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s leadership, due to the discipline, loyalty, and commitment of party members to collective interest over personal ambitions.
The association therefore urged party faithful and members of the public to disregard narratives capable of causing division, and instead focus on strengthening unity and consolidating the developmental achievements already recorded across the state.
