In a significant shift within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Hon. George Bolujoko has announced his withdrawal from the 2027 governorship race, endorsing fellow aspirant Salako instead. This decision comes as the party gears up for its primaries, highlighting the strategic maneuvering within the Kwara South senatorial district. Bolujoko’s backing of Salako is seen as an effort to consolidate support and unify the region ahead of the elections.

Bolujoko stated, "Unity is paramount for us to achieve success in the upcoming elections. We must rally together to ensure Kwara South is well-represented." His call for unity underscores the challenges the APC faces in maintaining cohesion amid competing interests and regional aspirations.

This endorsement could reshape the dynamics of the governorship race, potentially consolidating votes behind a single candidate and strengthening the party’s position in Kwara State. As the primaries approach, the focus will not only be on party loyalty but also on how effectively these alliances can mobilize support to secure victory in the general elections.
