PDP chair meets Obasanjo: Nigerians tired of APC, we’ll win Ekiti, Osun elections

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Turaki (SAN), says the party is on a definitive path to reclaim its dominant political position, starting with the governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States in 2026.

The PDP chairman said this while speaking to party members and supporters at the party’s state Secretariat shortly after returning from a visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, on Saturday, December 13, 2025.

Turaki highlighted the grassroots mobilisation and renewed unity within the party as the driving forces behind the expected electoral success.

He said: “Let me assure all our members and the good people of the South-West: We will win Ekiti, we will win Osun, and we are not stopping there.

“By the special grace of God and the unwavering support of our people, we will take over Ogun State.”

He thanked Obasanjo for his “invaluable counsel” during their meeting, which he noted has further energised the party leadership and reinforced its strategic focus on reclaiming power.

The PDP chairman stressed that the party’s vision for the South-West is centered on responsible governance, economic revival, and the delivery of democratic dividends to the populace, which he said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed to provide.

“Nigerians are tired of the current trajectory and are ready to return to the PDP,” Turaki added.

He reiterated the PDP’s commitment to ensuring internal democracy is fully restored to the party in order to provide Nigerians a credible and formidable alternative to the ruling party in all future elections.
