PDP Northern Leaders Back Tanimu Turaki for Chairman

Northern PDP Leaders Endorse Kabiru Turaki as Consensus Chairman

In a major political move, Northern stakeholders within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have officially endorsed Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, as their consensus candidate for the role of National Chairman. This pivotal decision followed extensive consultations among key party leaders from the region.

The announcement came during the recently concluded Northern PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja. Delegates unanimously adopted Turaki, a former Minister of Special Duties, as their preferred choice. This endorsement positions him as the frontrunner ahead of the party’s critical 2025 elective national convention.

A Strategic Choice for Party Leadership

Party insiders confirm the Northern PDP bloc views Turaki as a unifying force. They believe his experience and political maturity are vital for repositioning the party. This consensus candidate selection aims to strengthen the PDP’s structure and enhance its prospects for the 2027 general elections.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

Turaki, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria from Kebbi State, is also a founding member of the PDP. His endorsement signals the Northern caucus’s intent to consolidate its influence. It also ensures equitable representation within the party’s highest leadership levels.

All attention now shifts to the national convention scheduled for November 15–16 in Ibadan, Oyo State. Delegates from across Nigeria will determine if this consensus candidate will secure the party’s top position. The outcome will significantly shape the PDP’s future direction and unity.
