Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq endorses Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki (MFR) as his preferred successor ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries. Multiple reports say the governor announces the endorsement in advance of the party’s primary, framing it as his preferred candidate for the 2027 governorship race under the APC platform. Vanguard and The Punch both report that Abdulrazaq publicly backs Seriki, with The Punch citing a Facebook post and Vanguard describing the announcement ahead of the primaries scheduled for the following day.
Premium Times also reports that Abdulrazaq backs Seriki amid internal APC tensions in Kwara leading up to the primaries. However, Premium Times later describes confusion within the party after the governor allegedly shifts support from Seriki to Speaker Yakubu Danladi-Salihu. Taken together, the reports indicate that Abdulrazaq’s initial endorsement of Seriki is public, but that disputes and possible changes in alignment occur within the APC as the primary approaches.
