It has come to the notice of the State Working Committee and State Executive Committee of Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party that some elements within the party have embarked on suspension and removal of our loyal party members based on spurious allegations without constitutional backing to take such decisions.

PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY, 29th December, 2021 PRESS RELEASE: RE SUSPENSION OF PDP OFFICERS BY ADELEKE/PATHFINDER GROUP I read the resolution of the supporters of one of the gubernatorial aspirants of PDP in Osun State in which some of our officers were allegedly suspended by those loyal to the aspirant while some officers were reprimanded with warnings. It is disheartening that we have gotten to this level at this time that peace is gradually being restored to the party.  We will not go to the trenches with them but I want to make bold and say that the gathering which was chaired or presided over by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Sunday Bisi and his illegal gathering, taking into the cognizance the dictates of the Court Judgment that was handed over to the party from the State High Court, Ife Division, he has no right whatsoever, any right to preside over any meeting of PDP, so whatever the group may have done is illegal, ultra vires, null ...

Published by  New Dawn Magazine. Speech by Mr. Bamidele David Adeleke after obtaining his Expression of Interest and Nomination for Osun gubernatorial election ahead of 2022. "My fellow people of Osun, The forthcoming 2022 Governorship election in our State is not just another election year, but a year when we decisively take action to move our State away from the precipice. You will recall the buildup to the 2018 Governorship election, we were almost speaking with one accord in our quest for a more focused leadership to emerge that will put Osun back on the track of growth and development. I remember with sadness, how the APC government plundered the State, putting her in needless financial and human capital distress.  We spoke truly in 2018, loud and clear, against the continuity of the APC government. Our efforts at enthroning a different leadership were scuttled partly by the wrong choices we made, by the complicity of those who chose cowardice and inaction in ...
