OSOGBO, NIGERIA — A pressure group within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 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 group’s President, Akinwale Oyetunde, and Secretary, Adeyeye Olugbenga, addressed to the chairman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Abdulrahaman Mohammed, and Wike, the group accused the Osun PDP leadership led by Sunday Bisi of undermining the party and pushing members towards other political platforms.
The group demanded the immediate dissolution of the PDP State Working Committee led by Bisi, stating that the leadership crisis in the Osun chapter deepened after the state executives participated in the Ibadan convention, which was later nullified by the Court of Appeal.
The Reset Group specifically alleged that the State Working Committee had openly backed Governor Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of the Accord Party in the August 15 governorship 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,” the group said.
This development comes as Governor Adeleke, originally elected under the PDP, seeks re-election under the Accord Party banner following the PDP’s inability to field a candidate due to the national leadership crisis.
The Osun PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi, has publicly declared the party’s support for Adeleke, stating that all party structures have been mobilised to back his re-election.
The group warned that these actions would ultimately weaken the PDP in Osun and erode its political relevance ahead of future elections. While acknowledging Wike’s influence within the party, they urged him 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.
