ILORIN — Fresh crisis has engulfed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kwara State following the emergence of two factional governorship candidates ahead of the 2027 election.
The development has further exposed the widening rift within the party, with rival factions laying claim to the authentic governorship ticket.
While the faction loyal to former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, reportedly aligned with the camp of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, announced Engineer Kale Kawu Agaka as its consensus governorship candidate penultimate Sunday, another faction led by Mohammed Taminu Turaki has produced Alhaji Ladi Hassan as its flag bearer.
