The attention of the Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a false and mischievous publication being circulated by elements of the opposition in the state, particularly the All Progressives Congress (APC), claiming that the PDP in Osun has suspended all party meetings due to a purported national crisis.
This was contained in a statement signed by Jacob Ayodeji Areola, State Publicity Secretary for Osun PDP.
In his words, he said “The statement deceitfully credited to our State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jacob Ayodeji Areola, is nothing but a fabrication from the desperate imagination of the jittery and rejected opposition in Osun State. It is a baseless attempt to sow confusion into the minds of resolute people of Osun State.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Osun State PDP has not suspended any of its political or organizational activities at any level. Our structures remain intact, vibrant, and fully committed to supporting the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State and leader of our party for reelection come August 8, 2026.
“We urge members of the public, particularly loyal party members across Osun State, to disregard this fake report in its entirety. It is nothing more than a reflection of the frustration of the opposition, whose only pastime has become the circulation of falsehoods to remain relevant in the political space in the state.
“The Osun PDP remains strong, focused, and united in its resolve to continue delivering good governance and sustainable development to the people of Osun State under the dynamic leadership of Governor Adeleke.
“We wish to assure the general public that the criminal impersonator behind this malicious act will be fished out and made to face the full weight of the law. Our legal and security teams have already commenced necessary steps to uncover the source of the fake release, and we are confident that the culprits will have their day before the appropriate authorities in due course.
“Once again, we emphasize that our party has not suspended any of its activities in Osun State. The false narrative remains a mere beer parlour dream of some political drunkards, whose hallucinations can never come to pass. The PDP in Osun is stable, growing stronger daily, and unwavering in its commitment to the people of the state,” the statement concluded.
