Six aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Kaiama Local Government Area seeking the party’s House of Representatives ticket for the Baruten–Kaiama Federal Constituency have jointly rejected what they described as attempts to impose a candidate on the constituency.
The position was reached at a meeting held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, where the aspirants resolved to protect the integrity of the democratic process and preserve unity within the APC family in Kaiama.
The aspirants, Aliyu Umar Mande; Comrade Abubakar Musa Shamaki; Aliyu Muhammad Saiffudeen; Halidu Danbaba; Malam Anas Adamu Galadima (Zam-Zam) and Aliyu Abubakar Ibrahim
in a statement said while they remain committed party loyalists, they firmly believe that the people and stakeholders of Kaiama must retain the right to determine who emerges as their preferred candidate for the House of Representatives seat.
The meeting further resolved that all Kaiama aspirants would subject themselves to the collective decision of Kaiama elders, APC stakeholders, and party leaders on the emergence of a consensus candidate.
The aspirants also pledged to support whoever eventually emerges through the stakeholders’ process and work together to ensure the success of the APC in the forthcoming elections saying the unity within Kaiama and the broader constituency remains paramount while personal ambitions must be secondary to the collective interest of the party and the people.
The six aspirants respectfully requested the APC at the national level, at Kwara state chapter and the State leader His Excellency Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to please ensure that no candidate is imposed on the Baruten-Kaiama federal constituency.
The meeting ended with a call on party members and supporters to remain calm, united, and committed to the progress and electoral success of the APC.
