The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has put the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, in the dilemma of a political platform to contest for the second term.
The PDP National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Mr. Kamorudeen Ajisafe, disclosed this on a private radio program tagged ‘Frank Talk’ on Monday, adding that the present crisis in the party would not allow it to present a candidate for next year’s poll. “Hence, the need for Governor Adeleke to find a platform to exercise his right to retain power.”
The feelers in the state showed that the governor would soon move to either the Accord Party or APGA to contest for the August 8, 2026 election.
His words, “Let me tell you that if anything happens in Osun, it has to do with looking for a platform to contest, I am telling you. Where is the platform to contest now? If you are a very good party man, will you be happy losing someone like the Taraba State Governor? Osun State, like you rightly said, he is planning. I don’t know about planning; I am sensitive to the need for a political platform to contest.
“The problem we have in Osun is quite different from what we have in Taraba. The election in Taraba and some other states is 2027; our own in Osun is 2026. The primary for any political party trying to present a candidate for the 2026 gubernatorial election is December 15. That is the position of INEC. What do we do? How are we going to manage that? After December 15, INEC, by the constitution, will not recognize any emergence of a candidate from any political primary again.
“If you are a consultant, what would you advise? Will you advise that I stay in a party where I would not be able to exercise my right of returning to office? Just advise me what you want Adeleke to do now. He has not told the world, but ask.
“It is absolutely known to the whole world that there is no way that the PDP would be able to nominate a candidate for the 2026 governorship election. If you block your road or gate for me to enter and the occupant of another platform magnanimously allows me to pass freely, would I be crying that you lock your gate? What do you expect somebody like Adeleke should do? I am talking frankly on the radio so that people can hear me; that is the fight we have with Wike and Anyawu.”
