In a buildup to 2019 general elections, as the trend seems to be currently state governors are swapping their seats as the governor to run for the upper legislative chambers of the country. The latest Governor to do this is Ahmed Abdulfatah, Governor of Kwara State as he picked up nomination form for the Kwara South Senatorial District.
He is seeking to contest on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Ahmed disclosed this in a tweet via his handle on Saturday.
On why he picked form for the Senate, Ahmed noted that it was in response to calls by his people to ensure “effective, purposeful representation”.
He wrote: “ In response to calls by my people and in keeping with my strong desire to upscale the excellent work we have done in all three zones of the state, through effective, purposeful representation, I have picked up the PDP nomination form for Kwara South Senatorial District.”
