In a significant move ahead of the 2027 elections, elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State have officially endorsed Dr. Rafiu Ajakaye as their candidate for the House of Representatives. This endorsement comes amid growing concerns over party unity, which the elders emphasize is crucial for securing electoral victory.
The endorsement highlights the elders' commitment to fostering a collaborative environment within the party. “Unity is our strength, and we must work together to ensure that our candidate brings home the victory we seek,” stated Alhaji Abdulrazaq Adebayo, a prominent APC elder in the region. This call for solidarity reflects a broader strategy among APC leaders to consolidate support as they prepare for a competitive electoral landscape.
As the political climate intensifies in Kwara, the focus will likely shift to how effectively the party can unite its members and rally grassroots support. The endorsement of Ajakaye is a pivotal step in this direction, but the real challenge remains in maintaining cohesion among party factions to achieve a successful outcome in the upcoming elections.
