Stakeholders Caution Adeleke Over Division In Osun PDP

Some stakeholders of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State have urged Governor Ademola Adeleke to be circumspect in his dealings with the people of the state, especially PDP members, to avoid further division and marginalisation within the party.

They advised that the PDP-led administration in the state should put a stop to the victimisation and marginalisation of some members of the party being perceived as enemies; stressing, this would not help the government and the party.

Rising from their one day meeting held in Osogbo at the weekend, the PDP stakeholders in a communique signed by Barrister Ojo Williams, Hon Tunde Adewoyin, Engr Ogungboyega, Alhaji Remi Arogundade, Dr Romoke Edu and Alhaja Kudirat Nafiu, among others reminded Adeleke that his position has made him the governor and father to everyone in the state and not for few PDP members.

While commending a chieftain of the party in the state, Omooba Dotun Babayemi, for his selflessness and contributions towards the state and the party, they specifically recognised his moral and financial support during the final burial rites of Hon. Soji Adagunodo, the former national vice chairman, South West of the party.

“At this point in time, we feel that what is good for the state is for our governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, to eschew partisanship and provide good governance for all and sundry in Osun State. In addition, he should halt the current victimization and marginalization of some PDP members that is ongoing in the state” they counseled.

Continuing, the stakeholders contended that if such ugly development currently pervading the party is left unchecked, it might ultimately not augur well for both the government and party in the long run.

Meanwhile, the stakeholders also called for the continuous mobilization of members of the public towards growing the ranks of the PDP, adding that this would make the party to be more entrenched in the state for future electoral engagements.
