A frontline Kwara North Senatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Engr. Taoheed Daud Toyin, has declared total loyalty to Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, affirming that he would abide by all decisions of the party ahead of the 2027 elections.


Engr. Taoheed , an APC chieftain from Moro Local Government Area, described AbdulRazaq as the undisputed leader of the party in Kwara State, commending his style of leadership, commitment to development, and efforts at sustaining party unity.


In a statement issued on Sunday, the aspirant said the governor had continued to provide purposeful direction for the APC in the state through inclusive leadership and strategic governance initiatives.


He noted that AbdulRazaq’s administration had also created business and economic opportunities that have contributed to the empowerment of residents across the state.


“As an aspirant in the Kwara North Senatorial race, I am fully committed to pursuing my ambition with dignity, wide consultations, and respect for internal party democracy,” he said.


Engr. Taoheed stressed that party discipline, loyalty, and respect for constituted authority remained essential to the continued success of the APC, pledging to align with the directives and outcomes of the party leadership concerning the senatorial contest.


He further reaffirmed his loyalty to Governor AbdulRazaq in his capacity as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum and Sarduna of Ilorin Emirate, describing him as a father figure whose leadership has strengthened political stability and progress in the state.


The aspirant also announced that he had purchased his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest for the Kwara North Senatorial seat under the APC.


According to him, the forms were endorsed by 120 bona fide APC members drawn from the five local government areas of the district.


Engr. Taoheed said the move signified his readiness to offer quality representation anchored on competence, experience, and capacity to deliver measurable results for the people of Kwara North.


He assured party members, supporters, and residents of the district of his commitment to pursuing a future driven by growth, stability, and shared prosperity.

Until his death, Dr Kamal was the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), Ilorin .  The death of Dr Kamal came to me with a rude shock. But who can question the decision of the Giver and Taker of life?.  Nevertheless, I initially found the news very difficult to believe until I placed a call to my sister and colleague, Mrs Fatima Rasheed of Kwara State Television Service , who confirmed the sad news to me.

He was very humble, patriotic and sublime. Because of my interest in always meeting people, I had always known the deceased as one of the rising stars of the southe...
