He assured that party stakeholders were already working behind the scenes to restore peace and reposition the PDP for future success.

“I urge all members of our party, the PDP, to remain calm and steadfast. We are cruising to victory next year, and we must remain committed to rebuilding this party for renewed landslide victory,” the governor said.

I want to assure all members both at the state and national levels that it will soon be resolved. All stakeholders are focused on ensuring the progress and success of the party,” he stated.

Turning to state matters, the governor directed PDP leaders across wards and local governments in Osun to begin aggressive mobilisation ahead of the 2026 governorship election, declaring that the party remains the strongest force in the state.
