In a landmark moment for Nigeria’s opposition politics, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has successfully concluded its Elective National Convention at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Adamasingba, Ibadan, electing Dr. Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN), former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, as the new National Chairman, and Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, former Deputy National Chairman (South), as National Secretary.
The convention, attended by over 3,000 delegates from across Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, marks a pivotal step toward party unity and renewal ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The proceedings, which commenced on November 15 and spanned into the early hours of November 16, unfolded with remarkable efficiency and enthusiasm.
