2027: APC Speaks On Zoning Kwara Governorship Ticket

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Sunday Fagbemi, says the party has not decided on zoning its governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Fagbemi, who spoke on a radio programme monitored on Friday, explained that zoning decisions remain the prerogative of the party’s national leadership.

“If there will be any zoning, the national executive of the party will give the directive. But as of now, nothing of such is on the offing. We have not even discussed it because we don’t have the schedule decided yet. Anyone who has interest to vie for any position has the right to do so,” he said.

The APC chairman clarified that even if the Kwara chapter reaches a position on zoning, it would still require ratification from the party’s national secretariat.

“Even if we decide in Kwara that this is what we want, it is still subject to approval from the national secretariat,” he stressed.

His remarks come amid renewed calls from stakeholders in Kwara North Senatorial District for the APC to zone its 2027 governorship ticket to the area, which has never produced a governor since the return of democracy in 1999.

The zoning debate continues to dominate political discourse in the state as the ruling APC prepares for another election cycle.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who first assumed office in 2019, is expected to complete his second and final term in 2027, constitutionally barring him from seeking re-election.
