IBRAHIM QUADRI
The newly elected Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter has expressed its loyalty to the National Working Committee (NWC) under the leadership of Kabiru Turaki.
In a statement signed by the Lagos State PDP Publicity Secretary Elect, Prince Dr. Christopher Odianarewo, the party noted Turaki-led is the sole legitimate authority steering toward the restoration of PDP founding ideals.
Odianarewo wrote: “The newly elected Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State Chapter, wishes to formally reaffirm, in no uncertain terms, its 100% unshakeable loyalty to the National Working Committee (NWC) under the principled leadership of Barrister Kabiru Turaki.
”As we transition into a new era of party discipline and strategic rebuilding, the Lagos State PDP Exco elect stands in total solidarity with the national leadership. We recognize the Turaki-led NWC as the sole legitimate authority steering our great party toward the restoration of its founding ideals and electoral dominance.
“The Lagos State PDP is aware of certain malicious reports circulating in the media regarding a purported court nullification of the Ibadan 2025 National Elective Convention. We wish to clarify the following for our members and the general public:
”The 2025 Ibadan Convention was conducted in strict adherence to the PDP Constitution and remains a historic milestone that birthed the current national leadership.
“The rumors of a “court dismissal” are nothing more than a desperate attempt by detractors to create an atmosphere of instability. We urge party faithful to ignore these “phantom rulings” and remain focused on the task of party unification.
”Our legal team remains vigilant. We are confident that the democratic will of the 2,745 accredited delegates who participated in the Ibadan convention cannot be subverted by back-door litigation.
”The Lagos State Exco elect is committed to the “Turaki Roadmap,” which prioritizes grassroots mobilization, internal democracy, and a robust opposition stance. We are currently focused on reconciling all aggrieved interests within Lagos to ensure a formidable front ahead of the upcoming electoral cycles.
“Our mandate is sacred, and our alignment with the National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, is non-negotiable.
The PDP Lagos stated it would not be distracted by the antics of those who sought to profit from internal discord.
”We call on all genuine lovers of the PDP in Lagos and across the federation to remain steadfast. The party is bigger than any individual, and under the current NWC, the PDP is indeed being “returned to the people.”
