APC’s Political Strength Remains Intact in Kwara North as Mammoth Crowd Welcomes SYD in Okuta, Baruten Local Government
The political strength and electoral capacity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the Kwara North Senatorial District remain evident, as Trove Online Media correspondent reports a massive turnout of residents, party members and political stakeholders during the party’s procession in Okuta, Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The procession commenced at Baruten Grammar School, Junior Secondary School, where hundreds of residents, party faithful and stakeholders converged to demonstrate their support for the APC and its 2027 governorship ambition.
The atmosphere was electrifying, reflecting the enthusiasm and renewed commitment of supporters towards the governorship ambition of Rt. Hon. Salihu Yakubu Danladi (SYD).
The mammoth crowd subsequently accompanied the APC governorship candidate to the palace of His Royal Highness, Hon. Dr. Abubakar Sero Idris Kperogi, Afon III, where he received royal blessings.
Following the royal reception and message from the traditional ruler, the procession departed the palace for another engagement, where the governorship candidate and other party leaders addressed the enthusiastic crowd.
In his address, Danladi reassured his supporters of his preparedness and commitment to providing purposeful leadership, noting that his experience within the present administration had given him a clear understanding of governance and the direction required to move Kwara State forward.
He stated that insecurity remains one of the major challenges confronting Nigeria, emphasising that addressing the menace would be a top priority of his administration if elected.
According to him, his administration would prioritise efforts to tackle insecurity, not only in Kwara North but across the entire Kwara State.
Responding to a question on the priority he would give to women, Mrs Salihu Yakubu Danladi described her husband as a man who genuinely loves and accommodates everyone, particularly women.
She expressed optimism that, by God’s grace, their administration would make remarkable history in promoting the welfare, inclusion and empowerment of women.
She also commended the people of Baruten Local Government for their unwavering support, declaring that the APC enjoys widespread grassroots acceptance across the area.
Mrs Danladi expressed confidence that the party would deliver its polling units during the 2027 elections, adding that the level of support for the APC in Baruten demonstrated the party’s strong political presence in the local government.
Meanwhile, several APC stakeholders, elders and party members, including the Chairman of the House Committee on Tertiary Education at the Kwara State House of Assembly (KWHA), also addressed the mammoth crowd, expressing their support for the party and its governorship candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections
