Following extensive consultations with party structures and leadership, I am pleased to endorse Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki (MFR) as my preferred successor under the platform of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Young, pro-people, astute, and broad-minded, Amb. Yahaya Seriki has been a great political mobiliser with profound investments in and extensive goodwill among the people of Kwara State. I have no doubt about his capacity and that his choice is appropriate for the people of our state at this time.
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.
The choice of Amb. Yahaya Seriki is neither a disapproval of any of our eminently qualified aspirants nor a whimsical attempt to delegitimise the noble aspirations of our people. But in a race involving some 16 great minds for one office, only one person can take the shot at a time.
Finally, 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.

@ShinaPeller Happy birthday Egbon. May the years ahead be bigger and better than the years past. Wish you Godspeed as you aspire to represent our people at the red chamber of the National Assembly!
Congratulations Leader!
Nothing would excite me more than seeing Folarin emerge as governor in 2027. In my view, he has truly paid his dues, and this feels like his moment.
I’m wondering why we won’t just let these people go. If you interact with most of the people from that region, you’ll see that there’s tacit approval for what MNK is doing, as well as for his methods. The union is not working—why not dissolve it?
The culture of corrupt dysfunction inheres in every state and every LGA in Nigeria. It is entrenched. It is deadly. Every Nigerian within it benefits from it.
Every Nigerian without it lives wholly and exclusively in anticipation of integration into that political economy of corruption and rottenness. The Nigerian screaming and yearning for change hopes that this change would happen only after he has benefited maximally from the rot.
