Osun PDP Reacts To Decisions Announced By Ife Federal Constituency Stakeholders, Urges Calm, Dialogue

Osun State PDP on Tuesday reacted to the decisions announced by some stakeholders in Ife Federal Constituency on Monday while urging calm, peace and dialogue.

Disclosing that the State Working Committee of the party is already taking necessary measures to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate, the state PDP Chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi in a statement he issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com emphasized the need for members of the party to make internal conflict resolution mechanisms their first course of action.

Recall that the stakeholders in question had accused Professor Wale Oladipo, the Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi, and the PDP Chairman, Ife East Local Government, Hon. Olasunkanmi Makinde a.k.a Benco of engaging in anti-party activities while also condemning their role in the alleged victimization of loyal party members including Lawrence Omotosho, Adeyinka Adeniji and Yakubu Olawusi.

They were also accused of sustaining ‘political friendship’ with Rep Taofeek Ajilesoro, who left PDP for APC recently.

‘The attention of the Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to the communiqué issued by some stakeholders in Ife Federal Constituency on Monday, 1st September, 2025, wherein a vote of no confidence was purportedly passed on highly respected leaders of our great party.

The State Leadership of the PDP wishes to state as follows:

The party is hereby directing all members and stakeholders in Ife Federal Constituency to immediately suspend further actions capable of escalating the situation. All concerned are hereby instructed to maintain status quo in line with the conflict resolution mechanisms of our party.

The State Chapter of the PDP restates its respect and high regard for leaders of the party, particularly His Excellency, Prince Kola Adewusi, Deputy Governor of Osun State, and Prof Wale Oladipo, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees. They remain critical pillars of our party, and any grievances directed at them must be channeled strictly through the internal conflict resolution mechanisms of the party, not through unilateral pronouncements or public declarations.

The PDP warns that any action capable of undermining the authority of the party or flouting its rules and procedures will not be tolerated. Our party is governed by laws, guidelines, and established processes. Every member is therefore expected to conduct themselves accordingly.

The party is taking immediate steps, summoning concerned stakeholders to a meeting with a view to resolving all issues as members of the same family. 

In conclusion, Osun State PDP strongly urges all contending forces in Ifeland to sheath their swords and embrace peace in the spirit of unity and discipline expected of us by the good people of Osun State’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
