Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have adopted the Accord Party (AP)candidate in the forthcoming August 15 governorship election, Ademola Adeleke, as its candidate.

At an enlarged stakeholders’ meeting at the party secretariat in Osogbo, the chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi, directed all PDP structures to move en masse and give total, unalloyed and uncompromising support to the re-election of Governor Adeleke under the platform of the Accord Party.


His words: “After wide consultations with our elders, stakeholders, leaders across the three senatorial districts, and after careful consideration of the overriding interest of Osun people, the Osun State Chapter of the PDP hereby directs all our structures, from the polling units to the wards, from the wards to the local governments, and from the local governments to the state executive committee, to move en masse and give total, unalloyed, and uncompromising support to the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke under the platform of the Accord.

He attributed the decision to the leadership crisis confronting PDP at the national level that was allowed to fester to the point where the party was unable to present a candidate for the August 15, 2026 governorship election in the state adding that Osun PDP will not allow a national leadership dispute to truncate the destiny of Osun people.

Bisi contended that the party will not allow internal crisis at one level to sabotage development in Osun, hence the need to give full support to the performing governor of Osun State in the person of the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke.

In his response, Governor Adeleke who acknowledged his former membership of PDP accepted his adoption as their candidate for the coming governorship election and expressed his gratitude to the leadership and members of the party for the opportunity extended to him.

He said: “I love PDP but I have to leave to escape being trapped for my reelection. I confided in some of our leaders that I trust, we started consulting and praying to God over it. We were guided to the Accord Party, you see that the party is the first on the ballot”.

He urged them to vote massively for the Accord Party on August 15th, 2026 and assured them of victory as the people of Osun State are yearning for continuation of good governance in the state

This is to be expected.
The torn umbrella can no longer shield its member's.
The governor moved to Accord Party as his platform
It's left to see if they can withstand APC in the election.
So much undertone of Adeleke not fully living up to expectation in this first term.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.
