Political tensions in Nigeria’s Kwara State have intensified after the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) strongly rejected allegations by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Senate President Bukola Saraki that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq was behind moves to politically target rivals over the 2018 Offa robbery case.
The APC described the accusations as baseless, dramatic, and misleading, insisting that the matter is already before the courts and should be decided through evidence rather than media pressure.
Party officials said no one should fear legal proceedings if they have no connection to the case.

The latest clash highlights how Nigeria’s state politics are becoming increasingly high-stakes as parties battle for dominance before the next national vote.
