“The massive turnout of party members and the enthusiasm of the general public during the primary bear testimony to the fact that the PDP is the party to beat in Kwara State come 2015.

The gubernatorial primaries in Kwara state was postponed on Monday when aspirants engaged in physical combat. 12 out of the 13 aspirants had reportedly raised suspicion that the leadership of the party was preparing to favour one of the aspirants.
