In a bold move that has redefined the pace of the electoral contest in Kwara South, a leading youth figure and frontline aspirant, Hon. Gbenga Adeleke has become the first to pick up the All Progressives Congress (APC) Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the Senatorial seat.
The acquisition of the forms at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday serves as a powerful signal of intent, positioning the young aspirant as a well-prepared contender ready to challenge the status quo in the 2027 general elections.
Adeleke’s media team, in a statement released shortly after the forms were obtained and made available to 9japarrot, described the move as a transition from consultation to active execution, noting that the Adeleke Project is anchored on a clear commitment to purposeful representation.
As the youngest aspirant currently in the race for the Kwara South Senatorial ticket, Adeleke’s candidacy has continued to resonate as a symbol of hope and progressive leadership among the youth and grassroots segments of the constituency.
His ambition is built on a five-point agenda focusing on:
Security:Strengthening local intelligence and safety frameworks, Empowerment: Targeted support for women and small-scale entrepreneurs, Job Creation: Leveraging digital innovation and vocational training for the youth, Economic Growth: Attracting federal investment to the senatorial district’s agricultural sector, Sustainable Development: Ensuring infrastructure projects meet the long-term needs of the people.
Political observers in Kwara State have noted that by being the first to pick up the nomination forms, Adeleke has effectively set the tempo for other aspirants. His action speaks louder than words approach is being viewed as a declaration that Kwara South is ready for focused and people-driven representation.
“Hon. Gbenga Adeleke is not just in the race; he is defining it,” his media team stated. “Across Kwara South, his name continues to resonate as a leader whose growing acceptance is driven by credibility and grassroots strength.”
The announcement has triggered a wave of solidarity across the seven local government areas of Kwara South, with various youth groups describing his early lead in the administrative process as a testament to his readiness to serve.
As the race for the Red Chamber gathers momentum, Adeleke’s “First to Pick” status is expected to further consolidate his support base among party faithful seeking a fresh and energetic voice to represent the district in Abuja.
