The factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, has disowned a meeting reportedly held by members of his faction to endorse Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris ahead of the 2027 elections.
Turaki, a former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, denied knowledge of the meeting in a response to an enquiry sent to him.
He stated that “we are not aware of the meeting.”
The meeting was reported by an online medium to have involved a former minister, Buhari Bala and General Ishaya Bamayi (Rtd), who were said to have facilitated discussions that culminated in a resolution to support the Idris administration in the 2027 elections.
Turaki, however, said his faction was not aware of the gathering and therefore could not endorse any resolution reached at the meeting.
“We are not aware of the meeting. ‘Shirmen banaza ne’”, he said.
The development comes amid continued factional divisions within the PDP as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections.
Neither the Nyesom Wike nor the Turaki-led faction of the party has publicly announced its governorship candidate for Kebbi State for the 2027 election.
