The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has officially elected former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Kabiru Turaki (SAN), as its new National Chairman. His emergence followed a highly attended national convention held on Saturday night in Ibadan, Oyo State, where delegates from 17 states across the federation gathered to decide the future leadership of the party.
The convention, marked by vibrant political engagement and strategic consultations, culminated in Turaki securing the majority support of party delegates, affirming his position as the next leader of the PDP at the national level. His election is viewed as a significant step in repositioning the party ahead of upcoming political contests, especially as conversations around internal restructuring and national influence continue to dominate party discourse.
Kabiru Turaki, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and respected political figure, previously served as Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs. His wealth of experience in governance and party affairs is expected to play a crucial role in uniting party stakeholders, strengthening internal structures, and driving a renewed vision for the PDP.
As the newly elected chairman, Turaki takes over at a pivotal moment for the party, with expectations high among supporters and political observers. Many believe his leadership could shape the party’s direction as it prepares for future national engagements.
His emergence marks a new chapter for the PDP, signaling the beginning of fresh strategies, strengthened alliances, and a recalibration of the party’s mission on the national stage.
