The Katsina State chapter of the Fix PDP, Fix Nigeria group has called on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to ensure that only credible and committed party members are entrusted with leadership positions as preparations begin for the 2027 general elections.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Abubakar Muktar, the group stressed that the future and stability of the PDP depend on placing the right people at the helm of affairs, noting that internal democracy and accountability must remain the guiding principles of the party.

The group further referenced the contributions of respected leaders such as Dr. Bala Buhari, a former treasurer of the PDP and former minister from Kebbi State in the North West, who has consistently demonstrated loyalty, competence, and integrity in service to the party and the nation.

According to the Katsina chapter, the PDP can only reclaim its rightful position in Nigeriaâs democracy by strengthening its internal structures and allowing credible leaders to steer the party towards victory in 2027.

The group reaffirmed its commitment to working with stakeholders across the country to ensure unity, transparency, and fairness in the affairs of the PDP.
