Ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Kwara State, the Kwara North Women Advancement Group (KNWAG) has declared support for Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki.

The group’s endorsement was conveyed in a statement jointly signed by the Zonal Coordinator, Hajarat Jummai Usman, and the Kaiama Local Council Coordinator, Hajia Ramat Husaini, who noted that “his economic expertise and leadership capacity position him to drive growth and stability in the state.”

Similarly, the Kwara Central Advancement Stakeholders Forum, comprising APC members from Asa, Ilorin West, Ilorin East, and Ilorin South local councils have endorsed Seriki after assessing all the aspirants.

The forum’s position was contained in a statement signed by its Secretary, Architect Akanbi Lamidi.

The statement emphasised the need for continuity in governance and called on party members and residents to support his emergence as the APC flagbearer.

Also, the Ilorin Emirate Youth Assembly (IEYA), has endorsed Seriki’s aspiration through a statement signed by its Coordinator, Ayuba Olomogbona, and Secretary, Lateef Oloyin.

The group described him as a grassroots politician with strong credentials in youth empowerment, community development, and inclusive leadership.

In Kwara South, stakeholders have equally expressed their support for Seriki’s ambition, describing him as “a capable and dependable leader with strong grassroots connection.”

The wave of endorsements from women groups, political stakeholders, youth bodies, and regional blocs underscores a growing coalition of support for Seriki across Kwara State as the race towards the 2027 gubernatorial election gradually takes shape.
