Former National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bolaji Abdullahi has declared his intention to contest the Kwara State governorship election.
In a post on Facebook on Thursday, Dr Muyideen Akorede, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to Abdullahi, made the announcement.
The former spokesperson of the APC will contest under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi throws his hat in ring, declares for Kwara governorship, surrounded by friends and family.” Akorede wrote.
Abdullahi, a former Minister, was recently appointed spokesman of the coalition seeking to defeat his former party.
He 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.
