Kwara State governorship aspirant Suleiman Bolakale Kawu Agaka (SBK), running on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform, said that his recent screening by the party’s national leadership demonstrates the PDP’s commitment to internal democracy and credible leadership selection.

Speaking to journalists in Ilorin on Thursday after his successful screening at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, Agaka said: “The screening is another important step in the collective journey towards rebuilding Kwara State and restoring purposeful leadership to our people.”

“I remain committed to the ideals of the PDP and to the vision of a greater Kwara that works for everyone,” he added.

Agaka, known for his grassroots work and long‑standing humanitarian interventions in the state, stressed that leadership must go beyond promises and focus on real service to the people.

“For years, we have created opportunities, empowered youths and women, supported education, facilitated jobs, and invested in communities without occupying public office,” he said. “This journey has always been about service, and by the grace of God, we are ready to do even more for the people of Kwara State.”

He also expressed appreciation for party leaders, stakeholders, supporters and PDP members who have encouraged and continued to believe in his vision for the state.

Agaka urged party faithful and residents across the three senatorial districts to remain united and focused on the shared goal of building a more inclusive, prosperous and people‑driven Kwara State.

He remains one of the leading aspirants in the race, with growing support across the state driven by his track record in empowerment, infrastructure, education, community development and youth advancement.
