The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, Hon. Babatunde Mohammed, has assured party members that primary elections will be held to produce candidates for the 2027 general elections.
He assured that necessary measures would be taken to ensure a level playing field for all the aspirants, adding that primary elections will be free, fair and credible.
Mohammed disclosed this while receiving a gubernatorial aspirant, Alhaji Ladi Hassan, at the PDP secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital.
He urged aspirants seeking to get party nominations in the state to collaborate rather than compete, urging them to focus on achieving the common objective of making Kwara become a PDP-controlled state in 2027.
While noting that Hassan played a pivotal role in the party’s electoral success in 2002, calling him ‘a true party man’.
He added that Hassan was the first gubernatorial aspirant to make the state secretariat the first port of call which is, according to him, “highly commendable.”
Earlier, the PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Alh Alhaji Ladi Hassan, had noted that being a true party man, he had taken a decision to make the party secretariat his first port of call because the party officials deserve respect.
“We are delighted to be here today to stand in front of you and inform you of my decision to join the gubernatorial race. The party is supreme, we are in politics and we have to respect our party officials and the leaders.
He restated his intention to contest the 2027 gubernatorial election in the state under the banner of the PDP.
