Kwara Central Senator Saliu Mustapha has made a bold prediction ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying he will defeat Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the senatorial race.
Mustapha said the result would be clear before 1pm on election day. His statement adds a fresh layer to the political contest in Kwara ahead of the 2027 polls. According to Daily Post, Mustapha made the remark while reacting to the growing political competition in Kwara Central.
The senator expressed confidence in his political strength and support across the district. He suggested that the outcome would not require voters to wait until the final stages of collation. Mustapha’s comment is likely to attract attention because AbdulRazaq currently serves as Kwara State governor.
A direct contest between both politicians would therefore create a major political battle in the state. The senator’s confidence also signals that the 2027 election could become increasingly competitive as political actors position themselves ahead of the polls.
For Mustapha, the prediction appears to be more than a campaign statement. It is also a challenge to his political opponents and a clear attempt to project strength ahead of the election.
However, the actual outcome will depend on voters and the final electoral process. The 2027 election is still ahead, leaving both camps time to strengthen their support and mobilise voters.
For now, Mustapha’s 1pm prediction has added another talking point to the growing political activities surrounding Kwara Central.
