The immediate past National
Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mallam Bolaji
Abdullahi, has joined the governorship race in Kwara State.
He will run under the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, and may like get the ticket considering his closeness to
the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, the leader of the party in the state.
Abdullahi will seek to succeed
incumbent two-term Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Dr. Muyideen Akorede, his Senior
Special Assistant on Media announced Abdullahi’s declaration of intent to
contest next year.
A post on his Facebook page
Thursday night read: “Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi throws his hat in ring, declares
for Kwara governorship, surrounded by friends and family”.
Abdullahi dumped the APC on
Wednesday August 1, 2018.
Two days later, he announced that
he had dropped President Muhammadu Buhari’s board appointment.
The former Minister was recently
appointed spokesman of the coalition seeking to defeat his former party and
President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Abdullahi is now the head of
Media and Publicity committee of the newly formed Coalition of United Political
Parties (CUPP).
The committee has Kazeem Afegbua
and Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of the PDP as members.
Abdullahi’s committee was among
the several others inaugurated on August 6 in Abuja by the steering committee
of CUPP.
