Kwara APC picks Offa-born Seun Adato as deputy governorship candidate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has selected an Offa-born politician, Ogbeni Seun Ogunniyi Adato, as its deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections, according to reports obtained by News Bulletin Nigeria.

Adato’s emergence has also led to a change in the party’s ticket for the Ojomu/Balogun Constituency of the Kwara State House of Assembly.

Hon. Giwa Muzemil Kehinde, popularly known as GMK, is expected to take over from Adato as the APC’s candidate for the constituency in the 2027 House of Assembly election.

The development means Adato will move from the House of Assembly ticket to the party’s deputy governorship ticket, while Giwa assumes the party’s candidacy for Ojomu/Balogun.

The adjustment is expected to have implications for the APC’s political structure in the constituency as the party prepares for the 2027 elections.

Adato’s emergence and Giwa’s replacement on the Assembly ticket could also shape the political dynamics in Offa and the wider Kwara South senatorial district ahead of the election.

Further details on the party’s decision and the formal process surrounding the changes were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
