Akeem Lawal collapses political structure into Kwara APC

Akeem Lawal, the son of former Kwara State Governor Alhaji Mohammed Lawal and SDP gubernatorial candidate, has publicly endorsed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. Speaking at a political gathering in Ilorin, Lawal stated that the political structure inherited from his late father has been integrated into the APC to support AbdulRazaq ahead of the 2027 general elections. He criticized former APC members, including Senator Salihu Mustapha, for leaving the party due to personal ambitions rather than the collective interest of supporters. Lawal urged these individuals to remain patient and respect party leadership, arguing that abandoning the APC undermines both the party and the broader populace. He emphasized that Governor AbdulRazaq is the state-level leader of the APC, aligning with national leader President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and warned that opposing the governor equates to opposing Tinubu. Lawal encouraged patience among politicians, noting that AbdulRazaq had previously contested the gubernatorial election multiple times before being elected.
