Senator Saliu Mustapha publicly vows to defeat Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the 2027 Kwara Central senatorial election. The statements are linked to growing political tensions in Kwara around the expected contest for the senate seat.
Both outlets report that Mustapha frames his bid as a direct challenge to AbdulRazaq and emphasizes confidence in winning. The Punch adds that Mustapha makes the pledge after leaving the APC, while Legit.ng links the vow to tensions within the Kwara APC. While the reports align on the main claim—Mustapha’s intention to unseat the governor in 2027—they differ in how they characterize the immediate trigger, focusing either on his APC exit or on internal party friction within Kwara’s APC.
