Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has said that internal political wrangling within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is being resolved amicably as a family affair.
Adeleke stated this while addressing journalists on Monday in Abuja after presiding over the inaugural meeting of the Accommodation Sub-Committee of the PDP National Convention Committee.
The governor stressed that the party remains united and fully prepared for its forthcoming national convention.
The Eastern Updates reports that Adeleke serves as Deputy Chairman of the Convention and Chairman of the Sub-Committee.
In other news, According to him, all arrangements have been finalised for a smooth and successful convention scheduled for October 15 and 16, emphasising that the PDP maintains a long-standing culture of internal organisation and respect for due process.
“We have just concluded the inaugural meeting of the Accommodation Sub-Committee.
“Everyone was present, and we have resolved all outstanding issues to ensure the convention proceeds smoothly. We believe it will be very successful,” Adeleke said.
He also dismissed reports of divisions within the party.
“I can assure you that we are meeting and resolving our issues internally. It is a family affair. We do not want anyone outside to add sugar, pepper, or salt to the matter. The PDP is a family, and we know how to manage our affairs,” he added.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alex Chukwuemeka Obiechina, has praised Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, for his reported plan to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling APC, describing the move as “a demonstration of uncommon political courage and foresight.”
Speaking with journalists on Monday in Abuja, Obiechina said Mbah’s decision underscores his progressive ideals and determination to secure a better political future for Enugu State.
According to him, the governor’s “Tomorrow is Here” mantra has translated into tangible results across infrastructure, governance, and social development — achievements he believes already assure Mbah of a second term in office.
“I am personally amazed by the way this young man has brought zeal, excellence, courage, and foresightedness into the governance and politics of Enugu State,” Obiechina said. “Our state had been stagnated for 26 years by the crass impunity, indiscipline, and resistance to change which the PDP represented. His decision to join us in the APC shows that he cares for tomorrow more than today.”
