A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has declared that the opposition parties in the state have “effectively collapsed,” leaving the APC as the only viable political force ahead of the 2027 elections. The chieftain cited the “massive defections” of former PDP members and the high approval rating of the state governor as proof of this claim.

 

According to the APC leader, the “Otoge” movement, which swept the party into power in 2019, has been institutionalized through inclusive governance and targeted infrastructure development. He noted that the opposition’s failure to provide a credible alternative has led to a sense of “political resignation” among their supporters.

However, some political analysts in the state have dismissed these claims as “premature and arrogant.” They argue that the internal friction within the APC, specifically the “camps” forming around potential 2027 gubernatorial aspirants, could create an opening for a reorganized opposition to stage a comeback.

The Kwara state political scene remains one to watch, as the ruling party attempts to maintain its dominance while navigating the complexities of internal power sharing. The opposition, though currently fragmented, is reportedly in talks to form a “grand alliance” to challenge the APC’s hegemony in the next election cycle.
