Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state has urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State to remain steadfast and avoid distractions as the administration delivers dividends of democracy and good governance.
Reacting to recent developments within the party, the Governor noted that the victory of 2022 was made possible by dedicated and loyal members of the party despite anti-party activities by some party chieftains, adding “We know how we got to Government House and we know those God used to make it possible.
“We know those who worked openly or silently to stop us. We also know those who opposed us then but have now embraced our good governance mantra. We equally have a verified list of those who opposed us in 2022 and are still on the same line till now.
“My assurance to party members is that the PDP of 2025 now has an expanded membership base with so many decampees from the opposition. We have increased in strength and support. We have not lost any genuine supporter of our project from 2022 to date. Our good work has also gained for us more supporters, partners and men of goodwill across party lines.
“Our administration treats all federal Constituencies fairly. A particular federal constituency has three critical portfolios in my cabinet. Our infra plan benefits all corners of the state. Our local content programmes spread opportunities to all and sundry. We run a truly pan-Osun government”, the Governor posited.
While asking PDP members to remain firm and united, Governor Adeleke expressed appreciation for the gale of endorsements from various interest groups and particularly affirmed his steadfastness and frank focus to pursue the Imole agenda beyond 2026.

He commended elected PDP local government chairmen and councillors for their sacrifice and endurance for justice and rule of law, noting “We must sustain our democratic patience to ensure the prevalence of the genuine choice of our people at the grassroots.
“I must express my appreciation to groups and individuals who are endorsing us for a second term and who are pledging solidarity, loyalty and commitment to the Peoples ’ Democratic Party (PDP). Our members should be rest assured that we remain focussed and dedicated to sustaining a strong PDP and a pro-people governance in Osun state”, the governor was quoted as saying in the statement.
