Kwara Speaker Saliu Danladi wins APC guber primary
The Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Saliu Danladi, has emerged winner of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary election in the state.
Danladi secured victory after polling over 94,000 votes to defeat 14 other aspirants in the keenly contested primary election held across the state on Friday.
The state governor, Abdulrazaq, had earlier reversed his choice of Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki and announced the Speaker as his preferred candidate.
Danladi, who hails from Kwara North, contested the APC primary against the governor’s earlier choice and other aspirants.
The election was shifted from Thursday to Friday due to some technical issues.
Recall that in a statement issued on Thursday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the primaries in Kwara and Bauchi states would now be held on Friday.
