Kwara South Traditional Council has unanimously declared their resolve to support and mobilise for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
Speaking on behalf of the royal fathers that cut across Igbomina, Ibolo and Ekiti blocs, the Olupo of Ajase-ipo, Oba Ismail Yahya Alebiosu, said Kwara South traditional council declared its full support to the candidacy of Engr Yakubu Danladi Salihu of APC from Kwara North Senatorial District in the interest of equity, fairness and justice.
“And if you look at all the candidates of the APC, you can see they mostly satisfy equity and fairness. That is the right path to go,” the Olupo said.
He thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for acceding to the request of the traditional institution to support Kwara North to produce the next governor of Kwara State and for the Igbomina bloc to produce the next senator for Kwara South.
“By the special grace of God, I have been mandated by the traditional institution in this local government and in the entire senatorial district to say to you that the institution will give you 101% support,” Olupo told the APC candidates and supporters in his Palace, where the Irepodun Council of Chiefs were also present.
“I’ve also been directed by my colleagues to pray for your success. Because you have given us what we demanded. We are also going to do everything legally permissible to make sure that your party succeeds, come 2027. By the grace of God, I’ve been mandated to pray for your party, and your candidates will win from top to bottom. They will win from top to bottom. This party will win from top to bottom by the special grace of God Almighty, Allah,” the monarch prayed.

“We are once again grateful to Mr President and our amiable Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for standing by the truth and for making sure that what is good for Mr A is not forbidden for Mr B. That is leadership par excellence. The Lord Almighty will continue to be with His Excellency and make His Excellency continue to do things the right way and the way of God.
“All the traditional institutions in Kwara South stand firmly by equity, justice, and fairness. I make bold to say that all of what we have today, they are true reflections of what you call equity, justice, and fairness.”
Oba Alebiosu appealed to all party members to remain calm, committed, and shun crisis for the party to succeed.
State APC Chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, appreciated the monarchies and people of Oyun, Offa and Irepodun for their tested loyalty and commitment to the ‘seamless’ party primaries.
Referencing the peaceful conduct of the APC primaries and the timely uploading of candidates on the INEC portal, the Chairman said the APC is a disciplined party that continues to set a pace for its contemporaries.
