PDP National Convention: Turaki submits chairmanship nomination form, Lamido unable to purchase
Former minister Kabiru Turaki submitted his nomination form to contest for PDP national chairman ahead of the party's November 2025 convention in Ibadan. He's reportedly the Northern PDP's consensus candidate. However, Sule Lamido, another aspirant, was unable to obtain a form and threatened legal action. This follows the postponement of the screening exercise for aspirants. The PDP is zoning its 2027 presidential ticket to the South while retaining the chairmanship in the North, which has caused internal conflict. A previous attempt to halt the convention via court injunction failed. The election of a new national chairman for the opposition party may face legal challenges amid disagreements.
