Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Thursday led chieftains and candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on a campaign tour to Alapa in Asa Local Government Area, expressing appreciation to residents for their sustained support for his administration.

Addressing a large gathering of party supporters in Yoruba, the Governor affirmed that Alapa and the wider Owode/Onire district remain strongholds of the ruling APC, expressing confidence that the electorate will deliver decisive votes for the party in the upcoming general elections.

Governor AbdulRazaq criticised the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for failing to field a presidential candidate, advising undecided voters to align with a structured political platform with clear national and state leadership.

"We have come to thank you for your love and support. Your support for our government and APC is never in doubt. We knew that Asa is a stronghold of our party, and you have proven this in previous elections," he stated, adding that Kwara State would remain in safe hands under the party's gubernatorial candidate, Rt. Hon. Salihu Yakubu Danladi.

Also addressing the crowd, the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly and APC governorship flagbearer, Rt. Hon. Danladi, urged party members to intensify grassroots and door-to-door mobilisation to secure victory for all APC candidates.

Earlier, at the palace of the Daudu Alapa, Alhaji Saka Yusuf, the traditional ruler announced that all 13 district heads (Alanguas) in Owode/Onire District had unanimously endorsed APC candidates, citing visible infrastructural transformations across the community, including road networks, improved power supply, school renovations, potable water, and the upgrade of Alapa Market.

In their separate remarks, Asa Local Government Chairman Alhaji Shehu Amasa Yahaya, Alhaji Abdullateef Gidado Alakawa, Engr. Musa Yeketi, and Prof. Shehu Raheem Adaramaja commended the Governor for uniting party stakeholders and driving development in the area.

On his return journey to Ilorin, Governor AbdulRazaq paid a congratulatory visit to the palace of the Balogun Ajikobi of Ilorin, Alhaji Sulaiman Omokayode Abdulwahab Ajikobi, to felicitate him and Sheikh Musa Ajikobi on the wedding ceremonies of their children.
