A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has congratulated Alhaji Saminu Turaki (SAN) and former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja on their election as the National Chairman and Secretary respectively
Alhaji Turaki and Ambassador Arapaja were elected as the National Chairman and Secretary of the PDP respectively at the party’s National Elective Convention which was held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State on Saturday through Sunday, November 15 and 16, 2025.

He described their election as well thought out by 2725 delegates that participated at the Convention Ground, Adamasingba Stadium Ibadan.
Ajadi said that he was not surprised about Turaki and Arapaja’s emergence as the National Chairman and Secretary of the PDP respectively looking at their past and present contributions to the unity, and progress of the party.
