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.
The nomination process resulted from a series of thorough discussions involving the gubernatorial candidate and various influential stakeholders spanning the three senatorial districts of Kwara.
