Wednesday, January 21, 2026 - Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki has said the party already knows those who will not be allowed to fly the party’s flag as its presidential candidate in next year’s general election.
Turaki also reaffirmed the party’s decision to zone the PDP
presidential ticket to the South.
He said: “We don’t know who our candidate will be, but we
know those who will not be (our candidate).”
Turaki, who addressed reporters after a meeting with former
Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo at his Abuja residence last night, said
the former number two citizen reaffirmed his membership in the PDP.
He said: “We are happy that those who keep the party a
success are still with us.
“We came to introduce the newly elected members of the
National Working Committee (NWC) to him. They were elected in our last National
Elective Convention that took place in Ibadan.
“Those who came with us also included members of the Board
of Trustees (BoT) and the chairman of the BoT; founding fathers and mothers,
members of the National Assembly, state chairmen, former ministers, former
governors, former members of the National Assembly, and indeed other major
party stakeholders across the country.
“We met with His Excellency and we’ve had a very, very
useful discussion with him. We told him the prospects and the challenges we’ve
been facing since our election in Ibadan and generously proffered advice and
guidance on the way forward as a winning platform for Nigerians.
