The All Progressives Congress in Kwara State has postponed its governorship primary election earlier scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026, to Friday, May 22, 2026.

The postponement was confirmed in a notice signed by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Abdulwaheed Olawale Babatunde, who urged party members, aspirants, and the public to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding.

Speaking with a correspondent of Unfiltered Reporting, the Kwara APC Chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, explained that the decision to shift the exercise was necessitated by the late arrival of members of the election committee to the state.

According to him, the committee members arrived in Kwara late on Thursday, making it difficult for the primary election to proceed as initially planned.

Fagbemi attributed the delay to possible logistical challenges, including transportation issues and delays linked to flight arrangements or other unforeseen circumstances.

“They arrived late today, maybe because of flight delay or some other issues, so that was why the primary was postponed till tomorrow,” he said.

The party leadership appealed to stakeholders and supporters across the state to maintain peace ahead of the rescheduled exercise on Friday.
