Olusegun Adewara, the state party publicity secretary, confirmed this development in a statement released on Wednesday in Ilorin.
Party officials highlighted Fawenu’s reputation for humility, honesty, and strong leadership. The announcement emphasized that this selection represents the party’s dedication to an inclusive, capable, and service-focused ticket aimed at bringing effective governance back to the state.
