2027: Kebbi PDP denies endorsing gov Idris, says party remains united

The Kebbi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied reports that it endorsed Governor Nasir Idris for the 2027 governorship election. According to the Punch, the party insists that it remains united.

The denial comes amid reports of a meeting allegedly held by some members of the PDP to endorse Governor Idris. However, the factional National Chairman of the PDP, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, told the Daily Post Nigeria that he was not aware of the meeting and therefore could not endorse any resolution reached at it.

There are currently factional divisions within the PDP as it prepares for the 2027 general elections, with neither the Nyesom Wike nor the Turaki-led faction publicly announcing its governorship candidate for Kebbi State.
