The Kebbi State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has announced its decision to boycott the party’s national convention scheduled for Saturday in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to the chapter’s Publicity Secretary, Sani Dododo, the Kebbi PDP is distancing itself from the convention due to the candidacy of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, who is seeking the position of national chairman.
The chapter questioned Turaki’s legitimacy as a party member, citing his suspension in April 2023 for alleged gross misconduct, anti-party activities, and failure to pay party dues.
The suspension, issued by his Nasarawa 1 Ward, also affected seven other members, including former gubernatorial candidate Gen. Bello S. Yaki.
In a petition dated October 25, 2025, the Kebbi State PDP formally notified the chairman of the screening committee for the national convention of its rejection of Turaki’s nomination based on these issues.
