Former minister of Sports, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, has won the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) Kwara Central Senate ticket for the forthcoming 2023 Senatorial election.

Mr Hashim Jimoh, a national officer that conducted the primary, announced Abdullahi as the winner, having been returned unopposed.

Similarly, a former senator, Rafiu Ibrahim  was elected as the PDP’s flag bearer for Kwara South Senatorial District.

Ibrahim also emerged through affirmation at the primary that was held in Omu-Aran in Irepodun Local Government Area of the state.

The PDP chairman in Kwara South, Mr Bisi Fakayode, raised up Ibrahim’s hand after the delegates affirmed his election.

Two aspirants, Mr Adamu Bawa from Batonu axis, and Hajia Aisha Ahman-Pategi from Nupe axis, are the contestants.

Reacting to his nomination, Abdullahi thanked the delegates for their trust in him to bear the PDP Senate ticket for Kwara Central.

He promised not to disappoint them if given the mandate to represent the district at the Red Chamber of the National  Assembly.

GWGNG reports that the former minister of sports was also in the past national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
