Saraki Rallies Kwara PDP Members Ahead of National Convention, Urges Unity, Renewed Commitment

Former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki has urged members of the PDP in Kwara State to remain united and committed as the party approaches a critical phase in its rebuilding process.

Speaking at a pre-national convention dinner held at his Abuja residence, which brought together Kwara delegates, aspirants, state executives, and key stakeholders, Dr Saraki described the upcoming convention as a defining moment for the party.

Dr Bukola Saraki in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his Press Officer on Local Matters, Mr Abdulganiyu Abdulqadir noted that the PDP’s journey to securing a place on the ballot is one that requires collective sacrifice and unwavering dedication while emphasizing that the national convention represents the ‘last leg’ in building a formidable platform capable of reclaiming the state.

‘Alhamdulillah that we are at this point’ Dr Saraki said while expressing gratitude for the progress made so far and adding that ‘This convention is very important to us—not just as a party, but as a state seeking a credible platform to contest’.

The former Kwara State governor urged all aspirants to approach the process of primaries after the convention with maturity, stressing that the contest is not a ‘do-or-die affair’, but rather a collective mission to ensure the party’s victory and rescue the state from its current challenges.

‘What is important is PDP winning and salvaging our state’ he submitted, adding that everyone involved has made sacrifices in one form or another, including himself.

Dr Saraki called for sustained unity beyond the convention, urging party members to remain committed to a shared goal.

 He emphasized the need for immediate post-convention mobilization across wards and local government areas, involving state executives, youth groups, and party directorates to increase efforts toward victory.

‘We should all be committed and stay together for the sake of our state’ he said.

In a reconciliatory tone, Dr Saraki also extended an open invitation to members of opposing camps, assuring them that the PDP remains inclusive and ready to accommodate all who are willing to join in rebuilding Kwara.

‘Our doors are open. Many are suffering in silence—we can accommodate as many as possible for the sake of the state’ he added.

Restating the party’s mission, the former Senate President decried what he described as the ‘bad narrative’ brought upon Kwara by the current administration in the state, expressing confidence that the PDP will reclaim the state and usher in a new era of prosperity.

‘PDP shall resecure the state and lead it to prosperity’ he declared, concluding with a reminder that “PDP is a family affair’–Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
