Concerned elders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress from Kwara Central, Kwara North and Kwara South senatorial districts have endorsed the gubernatorial ambition of former APC Kwara State Chairman, Hon. Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa, for the 2027 elections. The endorsement followed a meeting held at the state secretariat of the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists in Ilorin.
The group cited Bolarinwa's leadership qualities and alignment with the current administration's transformation agenda under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq. Ladi Mustapha, spokesperson for the elders and former legal adviser to the APC in Kwara, stated that Bolarinwa stands above other potential candidates.
The elders described Bolarinwa as tested, trusted and connected to the people. They expressed confidence that his leadership would bring inclusive growth, strengthened unity and sustainable development to Kwara State.
According to the statement, the decision followed extensive consultations and an objective assessment of the state's political landscape. The group emphasized the need for leadership with proven integrity, experience, capacity and a unifying disposition.
Bolarinwa, also referred to as Dr. Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa (B.O.B), is widely respected for his honesty, sincerity and dedication to public service, the elders said. His conduct, they added, reflects discipline, transparency and a deep sense of responsibility.
APC elders claim Bolarinwa stands above others, yet offer no measurable criteria to distinguish him from unnamed contenders. Their endorsement rests on vague traits like "tested" and "trusted" without citing specific policies or achievements. If Bolarinwa's record is so clear, why does the statement rely on fluff instead of facts? Kwara voters deserve concrete reasons, not just praise wrapped in slogans.
