Senator Mustapha, while addressing journalists shortly after his arrival at the General Tunde Idiagbon International Airport, Ilorin, expressed appreciation to his supporters, PDP chieftains, youths, women and community stakeholders who trooped out in large numbers to welcome him at the airport.

He said he would not take the show of love and solidarity for granted, noting that the support and goodwill of the people remained a source of encouragement as he continued to work towards a better Kwara Central.

The lawmaker, who expressed confidence in the party’s chances in the forthcoming elections, urged PDP members and supporters to intensify grassroots mobilisation and engage more voters to secure victory for the party in 2027.
