The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the state Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, would seek re-election in 2023.
Speaking in Shao, Moro Local Government Area of the state at the weekend, the factional state chairman of the party, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, urged Kwara North to allow the governor to complete his two terms of eight years.
But the APC faction loyal to the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed said the governor does not deserve a second term.
The state chairman who was represented by the Secretary, Alhaji Mustapha Isowo, stated this during a peace and reconciliation meeting for all party factions in the council.
