Former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State for the peaceful and successful conduct of its Local Government congresses across the 16 LGAs of the state.
In a statement by his Press Officer on Local Matters, Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir, Saraki said the outcome of the congresses has once again demonstrated the PDP’s unwavering commitment to inclusiveness, fairness, and internal democracy, noting that the exercise has further positioned the party as a credible alternative capable of restoring good governance, not only in Kwara State but also across Nigeria.
The Waziri Ngeri of Ilorin specifically lauded the maturity, unity, and sense of responsibility displayed by delegates, stakeholders, aspirants, and party members during the exercise. According to him, the peaceful nature of the process reflects the resilience of the PDP family and its readiness to offer purposeful leadership at all levels of government.
Saraki also applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, and the media for their presence and professionalism, which ensured that the exercise was transparent, orderly, and credible.
The former Senate President charged the new local government executives to see their election as a call to service and an opportunity to strengthen the party at the grassroots. He urged them to work collectively with other stakeholders to deepen the PDP’s reach, mobilize the people, and reinforce the values of accountability and inclusiveness.
Saraki further emphasized that the successful conduct of the congresses in Kwara State is not just a victory for the PDP family in the state but also a pointer to the growing confidence of Nigerians in the PDP as a party of hope and renewal ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The PDP has once again shown that it is the party that provides a level playing field and prioritizes the will of the people. The maturity displayed in Kwara State congresses is a reflection of the national character of our great party. I am confident that with this renewed energy and unity, the PDP will reclaim its rightful place in providing quality leadership for Kwara State,” Saraki said.
