The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has cautioned the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, against involving it in what it described as the APC’s internal disarray, urging the party to address its own challenges.
In a statement issued by the PDP Director of Media, Hezekiah Oladele Bamiji, on Monday in Osogbo, the ruling party dismissed the APC’s recent allegations as “a baseless rant from a disorganised opposition drowning in its own crisis.”
Bamiji who said the APC’s accusations were a desperate attempt to cover up its internal implosion noted that the party’s leadership battles and factional divisions were matters of public knowledge.
“It is laughable that a party neck-deep in leadership battles and endless disputes is accusing the PDP of fabrications. The Osun APC is at war with itself, and its frustrated leaders are seeking scapegoats,” the statement read
He added that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration remained committed to governance and would not be distracted by opposition noise.
According to him, “Governor Adeleke’s administration is too focused on service delivery to be drawn into unnecessary exchanges. Roads are being constructed, health centres revitalised, schools rehabilitated, and workers are being paid as and when due.”
The PDP stated that the Adeleke-led government had earned goodwill across the state due to its transparency and developmental strides.
“From teachers to traders, pensioners to students, everyone can feel the difference. The people are happy, the economy is reviving, and the public service now enjoys dignity,” it said.
The statement urged journalists and members of the public to verify information coming from the APC before publication and reaffirmed the PDP’s commitment to peace and progress in the state.
“When they are cornered by their internal chaos, they look for who to blame. The media should not fall for their old tricks of lies and deflection. The APC’s crisis is homegrown, and the PDP will not be dragged into it.
“We are not at war with anybody. Our mission is to sustain the light of good governance that Governor Adeleke has rekindled. Osun people deserve better than APC’s theatrics,” the statement added.
The party reiterated that its focus remained on improving the lives of Osun residents through people-oriented policies.
“We have no time for distractions. We are busy working, and the people can see it. Osun has moved forward under the light of good leadership, and there is no going back,” it noted.
The statement concluded by advising the APC to focus on resolving its internal conflicts instead of shifting blame. “Let the APC fix its problems; the PDP will keep fixing Osun,” Bamiji said.
The Osun State APC chapter, has dismissed a purported list of consensus candidates being circulated on social media, describing it as fake and politically motivated.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the APC accused the ruling PDP in the state of fabricating and spreading the false list in a bid to create confusion ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
The party’s chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, said the action showed the level of desperation of the PDP to retain power by fraudulent means.
