Kwara APC group targets 300,000 members ahead of 2027 polls

Speaking at the inauguration of officers, formerly referred to as the “Critical Stakeholders”—in Ilorin, KRM Coordinator Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo charged the 16 newly inducted officers to mobilize members and remain committed to the group’s core objectives.

Oyedepo, a former political officeholder in the state, reaffirmed the group’s commitment to transforming Kwara’s political landscape through people-centered leadership and grassroots engagement.

He stated that the delegates are expected to recruit members across the 16 local government areas and 193 wards in the state. “We will conduct monthly follow-ups to ensure that they are able to mobilize a satisfactory number of members—potentially even more than the targeted 300,000,” he said.

The KRM coordinator emphasized that the delegates, drawn from across the state, have also been mandated to conduct monthly performance reviews as part of their responsibilities.

He outlined the qualities expected of the delegates, describing them as volunteers who must demonstrate integrity, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the movement’s ideals.

“The delegates must work as volunteers. When there is no money or what is given is not enough, they should still get the job done with their sweat or personal contributions,” he said.

“All members of KRM are party workers who will earn their place in the history of this state—especially if they play their parts well.”

In a goodwill message, a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Moshood Atanda Mustapha, described the KRM as a damage-control effort aimed at addressing longstanding leadership failures that have hindered the development of Kwara State.

“KRM is a damage control—an effort to address the leadership shortcomings that have, for years, denied the people of Kwara State access to opportunities inherent in its abundant resources.

“A better Kwara is promised by 2027 with this initiative, and I urge the delegates to take their task seriously to achieve the goals and objectives of KRM,” he said.

A political group within the Kwara State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), known as the Kwara Redemption Movement (KRM), has announced plans to recruit over 300,000 new members in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
