Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains a credible alternative capable of delivering good governance in Kwara State and across the federation.
Saraki, a former governor of Kwara State, commended the PDP for the peaceful and successful conduct of its local government congresses across the 16 local government areas of the state.
In a statement issued by his Press Officer on Local Matters, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir, the Waziri Ngeri of Ilorin said the outcome of the congresses once again demonstrated the PDP’s commitment to inclusiveness, fairness, and internal democracy. He praised the maturity, unity, and sense of responsibility displayed by delegates, stakeholders, aspirants, and party members during the exercise.
According to him, the peaceful nature of the process reflected the resilience of the PDP family and its readiness to provide purposeful leadership at all levels of government. He also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, and the media for their professionalism, noting that their presence ensured transparency, orderliness, and credibility throughout the congresses.
Saraki urged the newly elected local government executives to view their election as a call to service and an opportunity to strengthen the party at the grassroots. He charged them to work collectively with other stakeholders to expand the PDP’s reach, mobilise support, and reinforce the values of accountability and inclusiveness.
He stressed that the successful congresses in Kwara State were not only a victory for the PDP in the state but also a pointer to the growing confidence of Nigerians in the party ahead of the 2027 general election.
“The PDP has once again shown that it is the party that provides a level-playing field and prioritises the will of the people. The maturity displayed in the Kwara State congresses is a reflection of the national character of our great party. I am confident that with this renewed energy and unity, the PDP will reclaim its rightful place in providing quality leadership for Kwara State,” Saraki said.
