A broad coalition of political stakeholders in Kwara South Senatorial District has thrown its weight behind Dr. Muheebah Dankaka, OON, ahead of the 2027 National Assembly elections, in what observers describe as a significant early show of political alignment in the district.

The endorsement followed a large declaration rally attended by party officials, local government representatives, traditional rulers, youth and women groups, as well as community leaders drawn from across the six local government areas in the district—Oyun, Ifelodun, Oke-Ero, Isin, Irepodun, and Ekiti, including Offa.

Participants at the gathering described the move as a “consensus-driven decision,” citing Dankaka’s track record in public service and her previous role as Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, where she oversaw federal appointments and representation.

Speakers at the event emphasized the need for inclusive representation, with several highlighting the importance of increased female participation in national politics. Supporters also pointed to Dankaka’s administrative experience and familiarity with grassroots issues as key factors behind the endorsement.

Dr. Dankaka, in her remarks, expressed appreciation for the support and reaffirmed her commitment to the development of Kwara South. She pledged to prioritize accessibility, accountability, and policies aimed at improving the welfare of constituents if elected.

The 2027 general elections are anticipated to intensify political activities across the country, with key regions such as Kwara South already witnessing strategic mobilization by aspirants and their supporters.
