Four local government chairmen in Kwara Central Senatorial District have called on Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to contest for the Senate under the All Progressives Congress (APC). The chairmen of Asa, Ilorin South, Ilorin East and one other local government made the appeal publicly. Named among them are Alhaji Sheu Amosa, Alhaji Abdulmajeed Podo and Alhaji [Name redacted]. They described AbdulRazaq as a transformational leader whose experience should extend to the National Assembly. The position became a subject of interest following the resignation of Senator Lola Ashiru, who stepped down to contest the Kwara Central APC senatorial primary. The governor has not responded to the appeal. The APC primary for the Kwara Central seat is scheduled to hold soon, with several aspirants already in the race.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is being pulled from executive office into legislative politics before his tenure ends. The push from four LG chairmen suggests internal party dynamics are already shifting in anticipation of post-gubernatorial moves. If AbdulRazaq picks up the gauntlet, it would signal a broader political ambition beyond the state house. For Kwara residents, this could mean another round of leadership transition with implications for ongoing projects.
