The All Progressives Congress (APC)’ stakeholders in Kwara North have endorsed Dr. Bashir Bolarinwa, praising his leadership record, competence, and compassion as key qualities for the 2027 governorship election.
The stakeholders under the auspices of Edu APC Progressives and Patigi APC Like-Minds made their position known at a news conference on Thursday in Ilorin.
Speaking with newsmen, a former Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Hon. Benjamin Yissa-Ezekiel said Bolarinwa “is competent, compassionate, capable and has good track record in leadership”.
Yissa-Ezekiel said that the governorship aspirant has the “trifecta of leadership excellence” to lead the people of Kwara in the coming 2027 election.
He explained that, having being a Counsellor in Lagos Mainland, Bolarinwa became Chairman of the same local government from where he was elected to the National Assembly.
“I guarantee his good leadership when he comes to power because of what he did in 2018, when he was Chairman of APC in Kwara state.
“As at that time, we were in disarray because we had different tendencies coming together in 2018,” he said.
Yissa-Ezekiel explained further that Bolarinwa was able to merge and unify the party on common grounds and averted lingering crisis at that point in time.
Also speaking, Hajia Fatima Gogata, the Spokesperson for Patigi LGA, said that the APC stalwarts were united in their endorsement of Bolarinwa.
“This is not an endorsement born out of sentiment. It is one rooted in proven competence, political experience, and unwavering loyalty to public services.
“At a defining moment in Kwara’s political evolution, his leadership as party chairman provided direction, unity and structure,” she said
Gogata recalled that the emergence of Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara and the sweeping victories recorded across all electoral levels stood as enduring evidence of Bolarinwa’s capacity.
She assured that under the leadership of Bolarinwa, Kwara would bridge across divides and inspire collective progress.
Also in his address, the Spokesman for Edu LGA, Dr. Mohammed Baba-Lafiagi re-affirmed total and unwavering endorsement of Bolarinwa as the consensus governorship candidate for Kwara.
“Bolarinwa has consistently shown capacity for leadership, commitment to APC ideals, and dedication to the progress of the state.
“His legislative and executive experiences, deep grassroots connection and broad acceptability across all senatorial districts make him the right candidate.
“He will consolidate the gains of ‘Oto ge’ movement and move Kwara to greater heights,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
