The Peoples Democratic Party in Kebbi State appears divided over the 2027 governorship election, as a group of prominent party stakeholders declared support for the re-election of Governor Nasir Idris of the All Progressives Congress, while the state chapter disowned the endorsement.
The group, led by former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Ishaya Bamaiyi (retd.), made its position known at a gathering of PDP stakeholders and supporters in Birnin Kebbi at the weekend.
Those present included supporters of the party’s 2015 governorship candidate, Gen Bello Yaki (retd.), associates of former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Kabiru Turaki, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Buhari Bala, and other prominent PDP figures.
Bamaiyi said the group’s decision was based on its assessment of Idris’ performance and what it described as his commitment to infrastructural development across the state.
“For the 2027 elections, we are now fully committed to the victory of Governor Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu,” Bamaiyi said.
