Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Saturday in Ilorin charged the new executive committee members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara to work assiduously toward retaking power.<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u201cYou should begin to work in earnest to ensure overall victory for the party at the 2023 general elections,\u2019\u2019 he said at the end of the party\u2019s congress which produced consensus winners.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as you leave this venue, work should begin. The peaceful conduct of this congress has confirmed to me that we are indeed ready to take back power in Kwara,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Former Speaker, Kwara House of Assembly, Alhaji Mohammed Babatunde, emerged as the party\u2019s chairman, while Umaru Muhammed emerged as deputy chairman.
\nOther officers who emerged by consensus are Bisi Fakayode, Chairman, South Senatorial zone, Baba Jimoh, Chairman, North Senatorial zone and Haliru Dansoho, as Youth Leader.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that prominent leaders of the party had worked underground for the adoption of the consensus arrangement.<\/p>\n

In his acceptance speech, the new chairman, Babatunde said that he was not unaware of the task ahead, adding that he was prepared.<\/p>\n

” We will start work from the grassroots and work our walk to the up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will use the next local government elections to tell Kwara people that we are back,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Hon John Akwarashi, leader of the election committee from PDP national headquarters, Abuja, said it was gratifying to confirm that Kwara PDP chose the consensus option.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that the choice of officers is the choice of the majority of party members,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The official who led INEC\u2019s team to the congress, Malam Shehu Abdulkadir, said: \u201cfrom what we have seen, it is clear that the choice of consensus is the overwhelming choice of the party members.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

In attendance at the congress were former Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed, former Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi and Abubakar Kanike, former House of Representatives member.<\/p>\n
