Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will produce Nigeria’s next president in the 2027 general elections.
NewsWatch Nigeria reports that Makinde spoke on Monday in Abuja during the 103rd National Executive Committee meeting of the PDP faction loyal to him.
The governor said the party remained capable of reclaiming power at the national level despite its internal challenges.
Addressing party members and stakeholders, Makinde expressed confidence that the gathering would produce candidates who would win elections across different levels in 2027.
He said, “We should write it down. This gathering will produce House of Assembly members, will produce House of Representatives, will produce Senators, will produce Governors and will produce the next President.”
At the meeting, the faction ratified the appointment of a 13-member Caretaker Committee headed by Tanimu Turaki, SAN.
The decision followed a motion moved by the Edo State PDP Chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, and seconded by the party’s ex-officio member, Clement Fagboyede.
Turaki was appointed chairman of the caretaker committee, while Taofeek Arapaja was named National Secretary.
Other members include Daniel Ambrose, Hamza Abuya, Ihediwa, Isah Abubakar, Theophilus Dakashan, Ini Ememobong, Aribisala Adewale Idowu, Baru Shaffi and Okechukwu Obiechina.
