Governor Adeleke Brokers Peace, Resolves PDP Rift in Ife Federal Constituency
Ile-Ife, Osun State – September 7, 2025
Governor Ademola Adeleke has resolved recent internal disagreements within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ife Federal Constituency, calling on stakeholders to guard against what he described as “agents of division engineered by the opposition.”
At a high-powered reconciliation meeting attended by key party leaders—including Deputy Governor Prince Kola Adewusi, Deputy Senate Minority Leader Senator Lere Oyewumi, State Chairman Hon Sunday Bisi, Secretary to the State Government Hon Teslim Igbalaye, Chief of Staff Hon Kazeem Akinleye, Chairman of the Commissioners’ Forum Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, and other PDP stalwarts—the feud was declared resolved. A consensus was reached to forgive, forget, and unite ahead of next year’s elections.
Governor Adeleke commended the leaders for their openness, stressing that the disagreements were largely due to miscommunication and external attempts to destabilize the party.
“Throughout this meeting today, I see Ile Ife PDP very truly united. I listen to all the leaders here and I see clearly a communication gap among the leaders. There is also a strong sign of an outsider plot to divide Ife PDP,” Adeleke said.
“Now that we have seen the roots of the matter, I charge us to get back to work. Our administration has done so much for Ifeland and we are still going to do more. Ile Ife is a PDP territory. Go back and sustain the tempo. I commend the elders and leaders, the senatorial leader, the local party chairmen, the elected party chairmen, party chiefs and operatives. Go back and continue working for victory of the party.”
Earlier, PDP State Chairman Hon Sunday Bisi described the incident that led to a vote of no confidence as a “family affair,” noting that all parties had shown commitment to the unity of the party.
“We are glad that all issues have been ironed out. It is the resolution of this meeting that all statutory meetings for party mobilisation should reconvene and all party members and leaders should decisively frown at any act capable of misinterpretation as anti-party activity,” Bisi stated.
