No fewer than 35 political parties out of 55 for Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections in Kwara have adopted candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq.
The spokesman for the parties, under the aegis of Kwara Like-Minds Political Parties (KLPP), Oladele Sunday, disclosed this at a news conference in Ilorin on Wednesday.
He said KLPP which comprises of over 35 parties in the state showed up when it matters.
“We are at a critical stage in our country, but most especially our dear state is already in the political labour room and KLPP has joined hands with APC and other stakeholders in taking a successful delivery of a liberated Kwara. Today is not meant for an unending discussion but to let the world know that when Kwara people are dying slowly in the hands of political tyrants, KLPP showed up.

When Kwara people are groaning and gnashing their teeth under the bad governance in the state, posterity will be fair to us that KLPP showed up,” Sunday said.
