Adeleke Calls for Calm, Dismisses PDP Crisis as ‘Family Matter’

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to remain calm, saying the ongoing crisis at the national level is merely a “family affair.”

In a statement by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the Governor assured party members that stakeholders are working tirelessly to resolve the dispute and restore PDP to its “rightful position.”

Adeleke stressed that despite the disagreements at the national level, the party remains focused on the 2026 governorship election.

He said, “I urge all members of our party, the PDP, to remain calm and steadfast. We are cruising to victory next year, and we must remain committed to rebuilding this party for a renewed landslide victory. The ongoing disagreement at the national level is a family affair, and I want to assure all members that it will soon be resolved. All stakeholders have the party’s progress and success at heart.”

The Governor also directed PDP leaders across local governments and wards in Osun to step up mobilisation for the upcoming polls.

“I hereby direct all party leaders to begin massive mobilisation ahead of the 2026 Governorship Election. We are the party to beat, and our party will come out stronger and better,” Adeleke added.
