2027: Arewa PDP Support Group Elects New Leaders

Ahead of the 2027 general election and other off-circle elections, the Arewa People’s Democratic Party (PDP) support group has elected leaders that will pilot its affairs, with Hon. Aliyu Adamu from Kaduna State and Hon. Desmond Minakaro from Adamawa State as its national coordinator and national secretary respectively.

Other national officers elected are Adai Edwin Adai – director of publicity; Aliyu Mohammed Sani – director of youth affairs, and Salihu Danladi – mobilisation director.

Zonal leaders elected at the 2024 delegate Conference held in Kaduna over the weekend are Zakariya Idris (North West Coordinator) and Hon. Benjamin Dan Coma (North East Coordinator)’ while that of the North Central is to be elected later.

Also elected at the delegate Conference were state coordinators for the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Speaking on the election, Dr Auwal Baba, chairman of the Electoral Committee, said those elected are capable hands that will lead their members to provide needed support for the party in the coming elections while charging them to give their very best.

In his response and acceptance speech on behalf of other elected officials, the national coordinator, Hon. Adamu applauded delegates for finding him worthy of the position, promising he would not let them down.

He said, “I humbly accept this responsibility bestowed upon me today with all senses of responsibility, fairness and dedication. I want to assure you that the four years of my leadership will witness the most united and mobilised form of support for our great party, the PDP.

“The ongoing turbulence within our PDP is inevitable, and with confidence in our highly respected BoT, NWC and NEC members, our party will emerge stronger and more united with charisma to wrestle back power from the APC in 2027”.

He called on all PDP supporters across Nigeria to be more dedicated and work collectively by mobilising the electorates for a self-healing process of returning Nigeria to consciousness. “With prayers, hard work and unity, we can heal our country,” he said.

“I, therefore, present myself as a selfless pilot to this noble responsibility. I will operate an open-door policy and carry it all along. I sincerely appreciate all of you and assure you that I will not fail you,” he reiterated.
