Gambari Seeks PDP Ticket For 2027 Kwara Governorship Poll

Governorship aspirant Omar Gambari on Thursday picked his nomination form at the secretariat of the People’s Democratic Party in Ilorin ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Kwara State.

Speaking shortly after obtaining the form on May 7, 2026, while addressing an Emirate 98.5 FM correspondent, Gambari said he was prepared to serve the people of Kwara if given the party’s ticket.

The aspirant disclosed that all governorship hopefuls within the party recently agreed to adopt a consensus arrangement and signed a document committing themselves to respect the party’s final decision.

According to him, the interest of the party remains supreme, adding that he would support whoever eventually emerges as the party’s candidate.

“If I get the ticket, Kwara people will see what I will bring to the table in the areas of security, healthcare, education, roads and water supply,” he said.

Gambari also stressed the need to address insecurity across the state, pledging to hold weekly meetings with security agencies if elected governor.

He stated that his administration would prioritise the safety of residents to enable farmers, traders and worshippers carry out their daily activities without fear of kidnappers or attackers.

The PDP governorship hopeful further assured residents of inclusive governance and improved welfare if elected into office.
