Barely forty-eight hours to the presidential and NASS polls, the Kwara State chapter of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) on Thursday, declared support for candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).
In a statement released by the chairman of the party, Chief Dele Ogunbayo, said that the decision was taken after deep consultation with relevant stakeholders in the state and the party.
The Informant247 gathered that, for Senatorial seats, the party endorsed Mallam Saliu Mustapha for Kwara Central, Prof. Wale Suleiman for Kwara South, and Adamu Manko for Kwara North, while it adopted Hon. Abdulganiyu Cook-olododo of the SDP for the Ilorin-South/Ilorin-East Federal constituency and Mukthar Shagaya of the APC for Asa/Ilorin West Federal Constituency.
The statement read: “We are here to formally endorse the flag bearer of the APC for the Kwara Central Senatorial, Mallam Saliu Mustapha, the Kwara North Senatorial Candidate of the SDP Adamu Manko, Kwara South Senatorial Prof. Wale Suleiman of the SDP, Ilorin-South/Ilorin-East Federal Constituency Candidate Alhaji Abdulganiyu Cook-Olododo and Asa/Ilorin-West Federal Constituency Candidate Mallam Mukthar Shagaya in the forthcoming National Assembly election because we believe in their passion for Kwara State and service to the people – which is in line with our party’s ideology.”
