Kwara APC rejects Saraki's intimidation of teachers, civil servants for telling stories of pre-2019 suffering ▪︎ Says we'll stand by teachers, civil servants Kwara State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked former Senate President Bukola Saraki to stop threatening civil servants who speak up about their experiences during the Saraki-led PDP administration in the state. "We are appalled by the antics of Saraki and his men who have resorted to intimidation instead of defending their abysmal record during their reign. It is evil for Saraki to want to use pseudo-legal means to silence civil servants who are telling their experience. We say to Saraki: you can't erase a people's memory with intimidation and neither can you silence them. People are entitled to tell their story. The onus is on Saraki and his goons to tell their own side and leave the public to judge," APC said in a statement on Thursday. The party also cautioned Saraki and PDP against issuing threats to poor civil servants, including teachers, saying Saraki's legal notice against a female teacher, Mrs Olamide Ajia, who recently spoke on a radio station is an act of intimidation and psychological terrorism. "Saraki and PDP must live with the reality that Kwarans are freeborns who cannot be intimidated or forced to forget the evil that their reign represented for Kwara. Indeed, the action of Saraki has vindicated those who equate his reign with serial intimidation of critics. We urge security forces to protect citizens against such intimidation. If PDP elements can lie shamelessly on radio without being intimidated, those who are refreshing people's memory cannot be victims of any form of harassment by Saraki or his men. People of Kwara State will hold Saraki responsible if anything happens to the poor woman or anyone at all. Kwara of today does not allow for such reckless behaviour," the party added. The APC says it will do everything legitimate to protect civil servants, including teachers, from any form of intimidation or harassment by Saraki and his PDP followers.

Kwara Central 2027: AbdulRazaq’s Performance Becomes Key Talking Point Ahead of Senate Race The people of Kwara Central Senatorial district will on January 16, 2026 elect the Senator to represent them in the Senate. No doubt, Governor @RealAARahman AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has endeared himself to the populace through implementation of people-focused programmes and policies. Abdulrazaq's achievements as the Kwara State Governor and success story in the business world are testimonials to be considered. He is a successful Businessman with interest in oil and gas. He established First Fuel as a young chap and expanded his business interests to other Africa countries. Recall that AbdulRazaq in March 2019 as the Kwara Governor-elect traveled to Rwanda to participate in an Investors/CEO meeting. This meeting served as his official exit from business circle to focus on governance. No amount of propaganda and folktales can erase Governor AbdulRazaq's impressive track record in the business world. Expectedly, the Governor has transformed different sectors in line with OTOGE mantra (Enough is Enough to bad governance and maladministration). Kwarans are now reaping fruits of his strategic investment in the education sector with improved ranking for Kwara in national examinations such as WAEC, NECO and JAMB while students from the state owned Schools have recorded exceptional performance at national, continental and global quiz/debate competitions. Under his watch, Kwara workers are having good times through prompt implementation of minimum wage, cash backing of promotion arrears, payment of gratuities and other incentives to boost their morale. This administration is also providing a conducive environment for the workforce by completing Secretariat Extension and refurbished building housing Education ministries. The full implementation of KwaraCare has reduced out-of-pocket payment by workers, artisans and others enrolled on Kwara Health Insurance Scheme. Furthermore, the State ranked among two solvent states in Northern Nigeria who are not depending solely on FAAC to meet financial obligations. This is not magic but a product of financial reengineering and deployment of technology for tax collection, thereby increasing the state internally generated revenue. The massive Kwara Revenue House is another testament to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's prudence and judicious utilisation of scarce resources. While some critics are using Abdulrazaq's calm personality to downplay is competence for the Senatorial race, he proved them wrong by showing WORKINGS the attracting more federal projects ranging from road construction, enhancement of state security architecture and facilitating job opportunities. Kwara Central People understand that APC Senatorial Candidate is a strategic thinker and go getter who would not initiate bills for publicity stunt but network effectively to pass bills/motions to impact their lives positively. The Senate is not for showmanship but a platform to add value and contribute to national development. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is not a talkative or an attention seeker. He knows how to get the job done without unnecessary dramas. AA is ready to provide a strong voice for Kwara Central at the Senate, let's support him to do more for Ilorin West, Ilorin South, Ilorin East and Asa local government areas. #SardaunaOfIlorin #IwajuLaNlo

BREAKING: Seriki Drags Kwara APC Chieftain Yeketi to Court Over Alleged Defamation Ambassador Abdulfatah Yahaya Seriki has commenced legal action against a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Engr. Musa Yeketi, over alleged defamatory remarks made against him during a live radio programme in Ilorin on Thursday, September 17, 2026. Yeketi was alleged to have claimed during the programme that Seriki, a former APC governorship aspirant, was dropped by the Kwara State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, because of adverse security reports against him. Reacting to the statement, Seriki, through his lawyer, Abdulwahab Issa, described the allegation as “utterly false, malicious and unfounded,” and has taken steps to seek legal redress. In a pre-action notice sighted by our correspondent, Seriki’s legal team alleged that the broadcast was a calculated attempt to damage their client’s reputation, integrity and political standing before members of the public. The notice demanded an immediate retraction of the alleged defamatory statement, an unreserved public apology and an undertaking by Yeketi to desist from making further defamatory statements against Seriki. The legal team warned that failure to comply within the stipulated period would compel their client to institute legal proceedings and seek appropriate reliefs, including aggravated damages. Seriki, a prominent member of the Kwara APC and a participant in the state’s “O To Ge” political movement, has continued to identify with the party at both state and national levels.
