By Oluwatoyin Adegoke

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Mr. Kabiru Turaki has expressed confidence in reclaiming the governorship seats in Ekiti and Osun states as part of its plan to return to power at the federal level in the 2027 general elections.

Leader of the PDP faction Mr. Kabiru Turaki made the remarks during a courtesy visit by members of the group to former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta.

The delegation included former President of the Senate and Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees Senator Adolphus Wabara, former Governor of Niger State Dr. Babangida Aliyu, former Governor of Plateau State Senator Jonah Jang, and other party leaders aligned with the faction.

Speaking with journalists after the closed-door meeting, Mr. Turaki said the visit was aimed at drawing from the experience of the former president as the group works to reposition the party ahead of future elections.

He expressed optimism about the political prospects of the faction and assured supporters of improved fortunes going forward.
