Members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kwara Central, also known as the Ilorin City Forum, have pledged to mobilise support for the re-election of Senator Saliu Mustapha ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The pledge was made on Saturday during a stakeholder engagement between the Senator and members of the association at All Saints African Church, Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin.

Speaking during the meeting, the Chairman of CAN in Kwara Central, Special Apostle Prince O.O. Popoola, commended Senator Mustapha for his consistent engagement with Christian communities and his commitment to promoting religious harmony.

He described the Senator as a politician who does not discriminate on the basis of religion or ethnicity, noting that his inclusive approach to leadership has continued to earn him goodwill among people of different religious backgrounds.

Popoola assured the Senator that members of the association would intensify grassroots mobilisation and engage the wider Christian community to canvass support for his re-election bid and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In his remarks, Senator Mustapha described the forthcoming elections as an opportunity to reposition the political leadership of Kwara State and usher in a new era of inclusive governance and sustainable development for the benefit of all Kwarans.

He urged members of the association to remain steadfast in their support for the PDP and actively engage the wider Christian community to strengthen the party’s chances of victory in the elections.

The Senator reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive representation and sustained engagement with stakeholders across religious divides to promote peaceful coexistence, accelerate development, and improve the well-being of residents across the four local government areas of Kwara Central.

The Senator was accompanied to the meeting by former Kwara PDP women leader, Alhaja Sarat Adebayo; PDP House of Representatives candidate, Hon. Yusuf Saka Eletu; PDP House of Assembly candidate for Ilorin South, Hon. Taiye Hassan Alaya; PDP House of Assembly candidate for Ilorin East, Hon.
