Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has expressed strong confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will produce Nigeria’s next president in the 2027 general elections.
Makinde made the statement in Abuja while addressing party members at the 103rd National Executive Committee meeting of a PDP faction, where he urged stakeholders to remain united and focused ahead of the polls.
According to him, the party is well-positioned to reclaim power across all levels of government, including state assemblies, the National Assembly, governorship seats, and the presidency.
The meeting also ratified the appointment of a 13-member caretaker committee to oversee the affairs of the faction. The committee is chaired by Tanimu Turaki, with Taofeek Arapaja serving as National Secretary.
The motion for the committee’s approval was moved by Tony Aziegbemi and seconded by Clement Fagboyede.
Other members include Daniel Ambrose, Hamza Abuya, Ihediwa, Isah Abubakar, Theophilus Dakashan, Ini Ememobong, Aribisala Adewale Idowu, Baru Shaffi, and Okechukwu Obiechina.
The development comes amid ongoing internal consultations and restructuring within the PDP, as party leaders continue efforts to reposition the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
