Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains the most formidable political party in Nigeria, pointing to the economic reforms and development initiatives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as proof.
The governor said the impact of APC-led governments at both the federal and state levels especially investments in key sectors of the economy has improved the lives of Nigerians and positioned the party for victory in the 2027 general elections.
AbdulRazaq made the remarks during the Kwara APC Youth Dialogue 2025, organised by the Kwara Coalition of APC Support Groups and held at the Government Banquet Hall in Ilorin. He was represented at the event by his Senior Adviser and Counsellor, Alhaji Saadu Salahu.
According to the governor, the large turnout of young party members at the event was a clear sign of growing support for the APC and an opportunity to highlight its achievements.
“This gathering of APC youths is to showcase and appreciate the achievements of APC administrations at both the state and federal levels. I can confidently say that the APC government at the centre has performed very well,” he said.
AbdulRazaq stressed that sustained investments in critical sectors have strengthened the party’s appeal, adding that the APC remains the best political brand for winning elections in Nigeria.
He also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to empowering youths and women, creating opportunities for them to thrive, and encouraging them to actively participate in politics by contesting for elective offices.
“We are assuring Mr President that Kwara State will continue to support his administration to deliver on the Renewed Hope Agenda for Nigeria,” he added.
The event attracted top government officials and party leaders from within and outside Kwara State, including representatives of the Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, the Minister of Youth Development, state APC executives, local government chairmen, and leaders of transport unions.
