Soji Adagunodo and the National Deputy Publicity Secretary of the Party, Mr. Diran Odeymi over what he described as their inconsistency with democratic principles and maverick politics of stomach infrastructure.

Selected PDP leaders had at a Thanksgiving programme held at the Country Home of the Adelekes in Ede, adopted Senator Ademola Adeleke as the sole candidate for the next gubernatorial election in the State.
In the words of the Ode-Omu born politician, he said “The next Breaking News I’m expecting is the voluntary resignation Mr. Soji Adagunodo as the Chairman of Osun State PDP and Mr. Diran Odeyemi as our Deputy National Publicity Secretary.
“It is a big SHAME that both of them were not only present at the organized charade disguised as prayers but were both quoted to have made statements that are inconsistent with Democratic Principles and Practices”
“And more importantly, Dr. Deji Adeleke has through this appropriate response to their maverick ways of playing politics of the stomach publicly exposed their roles leading up to the 2018 election”
“Therefore if they both have any HONOUR left individually and collectively, they should VOLUNTARILY RESIGN NOW”
“THEY HAVE LOST ALL MORAL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS TO CONTINUE TO LEAD OUR PARTY BOTH AT STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS”
Several reactions have continued to trail the rejection of Senator Ademola’s adoption by the Adeleke family, describing the move was commendable.
