Under the blazing lights of the Lekan Salami Sports Complex in Ibadan, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decisively reshaped its future, electing Dr. Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN) as its new National Chairman. The electrifying convention reached a dramatic turning point when Senator Yakubu Lado withdrew, clearing the path for a consensus victory for Turaki, a seasoned statesman and former Minister of Special Duties. The event, charged with roaring delegates and palpable energy, was described by party elders as a flawless and transparent process overseen by Senator Ben Obi. In a further consolidation of the party’s new direction, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, renowned for his grassroots strength, clinched the position of National Secretary. This leadership duo is now hailed as the team destined to revive the PDP’s national dominance. An extraordinary show of force and unity saw over 3,000 delegates from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory throng the venue. As dawn broke on November 16, the message was unmistakable: the PDP has signaled its return as a formidable contender for the 2027 general elections.
