Stakeholders of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were confident over the weekend that the party would return to power in the 2027 general election in Kwara State, as reported by The Nation.

They based their optimism on the party’s ‘impressive’ showing at the September council election in Offa Local Government. Although the Kwara State Independent National Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate as the winner of the chairmanship election, PDP stakeholders remain hopeful.

PDP is challenging the outcome of the poll in court.

The stakeholders said this in Offa at an empowerment programme for 200 youths and women.

The programme was put in place by a stalwart of the party in Offa, Maruf Bukoye aka Bintinlaye.

At the event, Kwara South Senatorial District Chairman of PDP, Bisi Fakayode, said Kwara people had learnt their lessons.

He said “I know they will never make that mistake of voting for APC again. So many things are going on, but when we get to the bridge we will cross it.’’
