Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has announced Engr. Kale Kawu as the consensus governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the forthcoming Kwara State governorship election.
Saraki disclosed this in a statement issued after what he described as extensive consultations with party stakeholders and leading governorship aspirants within the Kwara PDP.
According to him, the decision followed agreements reached among party leaders and aspirants in the interest of party unity and electoral success.
He commended the other aspirants for stepping down in support of the consensus arrangement, describing their action as a demonstration of unity, sacrifice, and commitment to the party’s goals.
“It is this spirit of unity and selflessness that will carry us to victory,” Saraki said.
The former governor of Kwara State also wished party members, delegates, and supporters a peaceful and successful governorship primary election.
The PDP is expected to hold its governorship primaries on Saturday as political parties intensify preparations for the next electoral cycle in Kwara State.
