Kabiru Turaki, a seasoned legal practitioner and former Minister of Special Duties, has been elected National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a convention in Ibadan, Oyo State. His legal expertise spans constitutional law, election petitions, and international criminal law, and he serves as a Notary Public with fellowships in the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and the Institute of Corporate Administration.
Turaki’s public‑service career includes tenure as Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs and as Supervising Minister of Labour and Productivity, roles that expanded his influence in federal administration and forged a strong network across the party’s structures. He currently chairs the PDP Former Ministers’ Forum and has previously contested the Kebbi State governorship and the party’s presidential ticket.
Born on April 3, 1957, in Birnin Kebbi, Turaki comes from a family known for scholarship and public service. He holds traditional titles such as Dan Masanin Gwandu and Zarumman Kabbi, reflecting his roots and community involvement.
