A pressure group within the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, the Reset Group of Osun PDP, has called on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the caretaker national leadership of the party to urgently intervene and prevent what it described as a further collapse of the party’s structure in the state.
In a letter signed by the President and Secretary of the group, Akinwale Oyetunde and Adeyeye Olugbenga and addressed to the chairman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Abdulrahaman Mohammed, and Wike, the group stated that the actions of the Osun PDP leadership led by Sunday Bisi were undermining the party and pushing members towards other political platforms.
The group demanded the dissolution of the PDP State Working Committee led by Bisi, stating that the leadership crisis in the Osun chapter had deepened after the state executives participated in the Ibadan convention, which was later nullified by the Court of Appeal.
It also alleged that the State Working Committee had openly backed Governor Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Accord Party in the August 15 poll, without the approval of the PDP’s National Working Committee.
“The state leadership has endorsed the Accord candidate, Governor Adeleke, without the official concurrence of the National Working Committee.
“They have directed PDP members to register with the Accord Party. They have perfected plans not to allow any PDP member to contest under the platform. This was done in cohort with some very senior members of the present NWC loyal to Minister Wike,” the group said.
It warned that the actions of the State Working Committee would ultimately weaken the PDP in Osun and erode its political relevance ahead of future elections.
While acknowledging his influence within the party, the group urged Wike and the national leadership of the PDP to dissolve the current Osun State executives and appoint a caretaker committee that would allow aspirants to freely contest elective offices ahead of the 2027 general elections.
