The Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State on Monday declared its readiness to reclaim power in the 2027 general elections, insisting that the party has emerged stronger and more united following its recent national convention.
The declaration was made by the state chairman of the party, Isa Adamu, during a post-convention rally held in Ilorin, the state capital.
Addressing party supporters, Adamu described the gathering as a turning point for the party and the state.
“Today is not just another political gathering. Today is a declaration that Kwara State is ready for a new direction… that hope is alive again,” he said.
Adamu noted that the PDP had consolidated its internal structures after the national convention, positioning itself as a credible alternative to the ruling party.
“Following our successful national convention in Abuja, our party has emerged more solid, more cohesive, and better positioned to offer Kwarans a credible and people-oriented alternative come 2027,” he stated.
He added that the party was prepared to present candidates capable of restoring what he described as “good governance” in the state.
The PDP chairman criticised the current administration, linking the state’s challenges to what he termed governance failure since 2019.
“Since the ‘Otoge’ experiment brought accidental leaders into power, the story of our state has been that of backwardness,” he said.
He alleged that insecurity had worsened across the state, claiming that residents had been killed by bandits in recent times.
