Kebbi PDP Set To Attend Wike-Backed National Convention
The Kebbi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has confirmed its participation in the upcoming national convention organized by the faction of the party associated with Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
According to Ireporter Online, the State Secretary of the PDP, Abubakar Kalgo, made the disclosure in an interview with a correspondent in Birnin Kebbi on Saturday. Kalgo said the decision to attend the convention was unanimously approved by key stakeholders of the party in the state.
He added that all delegates from Kebbi State are prepared to fully engage in the convention, which is scheduled to hold in Abuja from Sunday to Monday. “We are satisfied with the arrangements for the Abuja convention, and all our delegates are prepared to participate fully,” he stated.
Kalgo noted that the decision underscores Kebbi PDP’s commitment to remain actively involved in the party’s national activities despite internal disagreements currently affecting the party. He further emphasized that the convention provides an opportunity to enhance internal cohesion and reposition the party ahead of future political contests.
The announcement follows months after the Kebbi PDP opposed the emergence of Kabiru Tanimu as National Chairman during a convention held in Ibadan in November. The state chapter had expressed concerns over Tanimu’s limited involvement in party activities within Kebbi and his failure to consult key stakeholders before declaring his ambition.
When asked whether the Kebbi PDP was aligning with the Wike-backed faction, Kalgo declined to give a direct answer, saying, “Don’t misquote me. All I know is that we are going to the convention.”
