The factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Turaki (SAN), has declared that the party is firmly on course to reclaim its dominant political position, beginning with the 2026 governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states.

Turaki made the assertion on Saturday while addressing party members and supporters at the PDP state secretariat, shortly after returning from a visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

He said renewed unity, grassroots mobilisation and internal reconciliation within the party have positioned the PDP for electoral success across the South-West.

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

The PDP chairman described his meeting with Obasanjo as fruitful, thanking the former president for what he called “invaluable counsel” that has further energised the party leadership and sharpened its strategic focus.

Turaki said the PDP’s vision for the South-West is anchored on responsible governance, economic revival and the delivery of democratic dividends, arguing that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed to meet public expectations.

According to him, growing public dissatisfaction with the current administration is driving Nigerians back to the PDP.

He also reaffirmed the party’s commitment to restoring full internal democracy, stressing that the PDP is determined to present a credible and formidable alternative to the ruling party in future elections.
