Political activities in Kwara State are beginning to intensify following strong remarks suggesting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is losing its influence in the state.
The statement, credited to Salman Jawondo, has triggered reactions among political stakeholders, especially as early alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections start to take shape.
Kwara has remained a politically strategic state in Nigeria’s North-Central region, often witnessing shifts in party dominance during election cycles. In recent years, the balance of power has tilted, with new political forces challenging older structures.
Observers say comments like this reflect deeper undercurrents within the state’s political space, where parties are quietly testing their strength and public acceptance ahead of the next major elections.
While the PDP still maintains a presence in the state, the growing criticism suggests internal and external pressures that could shape its future performance if not addressed.
Analysts believe the coming months will reveal clearer political alignments, as parties reorganize, mobilize supporters, and position themselves for what is expected to be a competitive contest in 2027.
