The lawmaker representing Kwara Central Senatorial District, Saliu Mustapha, says he has not dumped President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during a live interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Mustapha said he left the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
According to the lawmaker, he does not like the way the governor has been handling the APC in the state.
DAILY POST reports that Mustapha recently left the APC for the PDP and became the party’s senatorial candidate for the 2027 general elections.
“I have dumped President Tinubu. Like the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, said, this Rainbow Coalition has extended to Kwara State.
“That is part of what you are seeing, and that is why it was deliberate to have picked the PDP as our platform. It’s not about Saliu Mustapha.
“The G-15 and the elder caucus of the APC in the state felt ‘alienated’ by the way Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has handled the APC in the state,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that the G-15 is a group of APC governorship aspirants and members of the party’s elders’ caucus in the state.
