Ilorin Eid Prayers Marred by Anti-APC Chants

The Eid-el-Kabir prayers at the Ilorin Central Eid ground took a political turn on Wednesday. Sections of worshippers openly chanted against the ruling APC and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. The slogans began as the governor’s convoy struggled to navigate through a dense crowd of worshippers and residents. Some participants claimed the APC had “fallen like a joke,” while others targeted the governor by name. Security personnel monitored the scene, and no major violence was recorded. Observers say the incident reflects growing public frustration over governance and socio-economic challenges in Kwara State. With the 2027 governorship race on the horizon, political parties are already positioning candidates. Analysts warn that unchecked discontent at such gatherings could heighten tensions before the polls.
