Let’s Unify To Establish A Stronger Party, Adeleke Tells PDP Stakeholders

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has charged Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stakeholders in the state to work together to build a stronger platform.

Speaking at the party stakeholders meeting at the party Secretariat in Osogbo on Friday, he stressed the need for members to embrace one another rather fanning the ember of disunity within the party.

“let me reassure you that we are not unconscious of the need to build the people as we are building the state. We must tar the road inside as we are grading the roads on our streets.

“You have my assurance on the need to marry hard infrastructure with stomach or soft infrastructure. The process is ongoing. We will never neglect to give strength and capacity to you, our party elders, leaders and members.

“I task leaders in and out of governments to commence the March to 2026. As we are nearing midterm, we must dominate the stage with our widely acknowledged good performance. A performing party must stamp its authority as a re-electable governing party.

“Top government officials must henceforth be strongly present in their local governments. There must be strong synergy between the party and government operatives.

“We must continue to build a winning platform. We must be accommodating. We must embrace ourselves. In extraordinary unity lies our continued strength.

“We must all note that the elders’ caucus of the party has been restructured. Several meetings of the caucus have been held. On this note, I commend the former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; the 1999 governorship candidate of the PDP, Senator Oluwole Alabi; the former State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, the former South West Zonal Vice Chairman of the party, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo and several other party leaders who have reunited with the mainstream.

“We are now one strong united family. There is no “Anigba” again. From ward to state level, we must embrace each other and forge ahead to build a united victorious party ahead of 2026”, he said.

Earlier in his address, the party chairman, Sunday Bisi charged party members to return to the grassroots with a view to galvanise more support for the party across the party.
