…as ex-Jigawa gov alleges being sidelined, threaten legal action
Former Minister of Special Duties and Peoples Democratic Party National Chairmanship Aspirant, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, on Monday, submitted his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest for the position of National Chairman of the party.
PDP has scheduled November 15, 16, 2025 for its Elective National Convention for Ibadan, Oyo State.
Turaki, who has been adopted as consensus candidate for the position by majority of stakeholders of the party, submitted his forms to the National Convention Organising Committee (NCOC)’s Secretariat, Legacy House, Shehu Shagari Way, Maitama, Abuja, on Monday.
He was accompanied to the Legacy House by friends and political associates.
However, earlier, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Sule Lamido, who is also seeking to contest for the position, stormed the PDP headquarters in Abuja to purchase the form but no party official attended to him.
Lamido, who was angered by the development, had threatened in a chat with journalists that he may head to court if he is unable to purchase the forms.
