He noted that the move demonstrates the willingness of the Kebbi PDP to remain actively involved in national party affairs, despite internal disagreements that have affected the party in recent times.

The state chapter had opposed his emergence despite being an indigene of Kebbi, citing his alleged lack of active participation in party activities within the state and failure to adequately consult key stakeholders before declaring his interest. Kalgo, however, maintained that the Abuja convention provides an opportunity for party members to further strengthen internal cohesion and reposition the PDP ahead of future political engagements.

When asked whether the Kebbi PDP aligns with the Wike-led faction, Kalgo declined to give a direct response, saying, “Don’t misquote me. All I know is that we are going to the convention.” Advertisement googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1672587060870-0"); }); Join Our Whatsapp Channel To join: Simply click on the link below & turn on notifications to get the latest updates Subscribe to Our Newsletter In This Article: More Stories No related articles found /* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * / var disqus_shortname = 'channelstelevision'; // Required - Replace example with your forum shortname / * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */ (function() { var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true; dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq); })(); Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
