Kwara PDP Rejects Atiku's Coalition, Urges Members to Stay Loyal
The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has advised its members and supporters to refrain from engaging with a new coalition movement in the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in Ilorin, the party's secretary, Abdulrahman Abdullahi Kayode, revealed that the PDP is aware of endeavours by certain individuals and political actors to entice its members into joining the newly formed coalition.
The statement emphasised that the PDP in Kwara State, led by Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has no connection whatsoever with the coalition, reportedly spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, or any other group outside the party's established framework.
The party urged its members and supporters across the state to remain vigilant and not be deceived or misled by the antics of "stranded and unpopular" politicians who, having deserted the party, are now seeking relevance by falsely using Saraki's name to win support for their new political adventure.
"These individuals had either left or were irrelevant within the party during the September 2024 local government elections, yet despite their absence, our party triumphed at the polls, a testament to the unwavering support we continue to enjoy from the people of Kwara State, regardless of the manipulation of results by the ruling party.
"If they are truly confident in their popularity and acceptance among the people, they should campaign based on their own track records and not hide behind the name and legacy of our leader," the party declared.
The statement asserted that Saraki remains a proud and committed member of the PDP and is actively involved in efforts to reposition and unify the party in preparation for a successful outing in the 2027 general elections.
"The PDP in Kwara remains united, focused, and loyal to its ideals. We advise all our members to disregard any invitation or pressure to join the so-called coalition and remain steadfast under the banner of the PDP," it added.
