Kwara Central Senator, Saliu Mustapha, has expressed confidence that he will defeat Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, in the 2027 senatorial election.
Mustapha made the declaration on Friday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, saying he expects to secure victory hours before the final results are announced.
“I would have won that election 12 o’clock before 1 o’clock, In Sha Allah, in the senatorial race. It will be one election Nigerians would be waiting to see the results,” he said.
The governor is the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate for the 2027 Kwara Central Senatorial election.
Mustapha recently defected from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, where he emerged as the party’s senatorial candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Explaining his decision to leave the ruling APC, the senator cited inadequate consultation and what he described as poor management of political interests within the party by Governor AbdulRazaq.
