Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has endorsed Abdulfatai Seriki as the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 election.
In a statement he personally signed, the governor said that Seriki has been a great political mobiliser with ‘profound investments’ and extensive goodwill among the people of Kwara State and that he has no doubt about his capacity and that his choice is appropriate for the state.
He said: “Following extensive consultations with party structures and leadership, I am pleased to endorse Abdulfatai Seriki as my preferred successor under the platform of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“While this does not in any way preclude all other aspirants from contesting in the primaries, I urge members and leaders to affirm the choice of Seriki as our candidate for cohesion, unity, and continuous success of the party as we hold our gubernatorial primaries on Thursday, May 21, 2026,” he said.
The governor further stated that the choice of Seriki is neither a disapproval of any of the aspirants nor a whimsical attempt to delegittimise their aspirations but that in a race involving 16 aspirants for one office, only one person can take the shot at a time.
He said: “I acknowledge and commend the statesmanship of our aspirants, all of whom have shown discipline and impressive capacity to build on the undeniable achievements of our administration over the last seven years for the good of the people of Kwara State.”
