The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has intensified its grassroots mobilization ahead of the 2027 general elections, staging a massive rally in Ilorin to mobilize public support for President Bola Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and the party's governorship candidate, Engr. Salihu Yakubu Danladi.

The rally, structured as a 20,000-man march, brought together party members and supporters from Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Asa, and Moro Local Government Areas.

Organized by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Prince Suleiman Abubakar Sai Kayi, the procession aimed to demonstrate party cohesion and grassroots backing for the APC leadership and its candidates.

The march commenced at the Kwara State University Teaching Hospital (General Hospital) Roundabout and moved through major thoroughfares in the state capital, with participants displaying party insignia and chanting solidarity slogans.

Numerous supporters wore branded apparel bearing messages such as "My Vote is for APC" and "#Iwaju LaNlo".

Addressing press men, Sai Kayi explained that the rally was convened to highlight the achievements of the AbdulRazaq administration in infrastructure development, education, and worker welfare.

He framed Danladi's emergence as the party's governorship candidate as an agenda for continuity grounded in regional equity. He added that Danladi, having served within the legislative arm during the current administration, is positioned to build upon established developmental projects.

Also speaking, the Senior Adviser and Counsellor to the Governor, Alh. Sa'adu Salahu, urged the electorate to assess political parties based on verifiable service delivery rather than opposition rhetoric.

He noted that Governor AbdulRazaq's administration has fostered political tolerance and rejected thuggery in state politics.

Salahu dismissed suggestions of an opposition coalition gaining leverage in Kwara, expressing confidence that the ruling party will secure victory across all electoral levels in 2027 while advising members to maintain peaceful, door-to-door campaigning.

In their respective remarks, the Director-General of the APC Campaign Council (Central), Abdulrazaq Jiddah, and the General Manager of the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP), Dr Abdulwasiu Tejidini, praised the large turnout and urged voters to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) when electoral windows open.

A former APC House of Assembly aspirant for the Share/Oke-Ode Constituency, Abdulrasheed Akogun, noted that zoning the governorship ticket to Kwara North reflects political fairness and equity within the party structure.

Dignitaries present at the event included Sa'adat Yakubu Danladi, wife of the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly; lawmakers Fatima Arinola Lawal and Mariam Yusuf Aladi; Dr Ghali Alaya; the Governor's Special Adviser on Media, Bashir Adigun; alongside council chairmen and senior party chieftains.
