The people of Edu, Moro and Patigi federal constituency in Kwara State have pleaded with the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leadership to help preserve and respect the APC members’ right and decision in the last Saturday House of Representatives primary.

Adamu Ahmed Saba (Edu LGA) from 2023 to date.
