PDP ll Come Out Strong After Convention – Saraki

A former President of the Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) will come out strong after its national convention slated for March 29, 2026.

Speaking in an exclusive with LEADERSHIP on Thursday, the former Kwara state governor said most of the issues would be resolved after the convention, dismissing insinuations that erstwhile ruling party is dead.

He said, “It’s a party that is there in the minds of people. Go to villages, go to towns, across. It’s not something you can wipe out. Crises like this cannot wipe out the party. That’s why sometimes you hear commentators, not you, that say, PDP is dead. That does not because when you go around to the states, you still find out today, talk to people, the main opposition party that exists is PDP.

“So, I believe that a lot of us as leaders have that responsibility that no matter how difficult it appears, that we will find a solution. And I think that we have done so well up to this Ibadan Convention. It wasn’t easy, but we’re keeping it together.

“Unfortunately, we made mistakes there, and that led us to the courts. Now we have to come out of the courts, go back to the table. I think that’s what we want to do over the next few days that will lead us to a convention, and hopefully post-convention we’ll be able to come together and do the most important thing that we need to do, which is what Nigerians want to see is that PDP is on ballot paper in 2027,” he said
