Youngest Lawmaker Rukayat Shittu Clinches APC Re-Election Primary in Kwara

Hon. Rukayat Shittu, Nigeria’s youngest lawmaker, has won the APC primary for the Owode/Onire State Constituency in Kwara. She defeated her sole challenger, Sulyman Ayegun, breaking a long-standing power rotation that limited members to a single term. Party insiders say her victory reflects strong confidence in her leadership and track record. If re-elected, Shittu will become the first representative from the constituency to serve a second term. Observers predict a closely watched general election contest as she campaigns on youth initiatives and women’s representation.
