Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has predicted that supporters of both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state will vote for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The governor attributed the expected support to the political influence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who has declared his backing for Tinubu despite his membership of the PDP.
AbdulRazaq made the remarks during a visit by Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director General of Tinubu's presidential campaign, to the Kwara State Government House.
Speaking during the meeting, the governor estimated that the APC accounted for 70 per cent of the political support in Kwara State, while the PDP represented the remaining 30 per cent.
"APC is 70 percent in Kwara State, while PDP is 30 percent.
"Now, with the National Leader of the PDP, Nyesom Wike, being a member of the APC presidential campaign and declaring support for President Tinubu, it means that the 30 percent of PDP plus our 70 percent is together for President Tinubu.
"This means it will be one of the easiest states because the two main parties are voting for President Tinubu."

AbdulRazaq's remarks suggest that he expects Wike's support for Tinubu to influence PDP supporters in Kwara State ahead of the next presidential election.
Wike's involvement in Tinubu's campaign has drawn attention to the political divisions within the PDP, particularly as preparations for the 2027 general election continue.
The governor expressed confidence that the combined support he attributed to the APC and PDP would give Tinubu a strong advantage in Kwara State.
