Osun PDP Legacy Group, a group within Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, had demanded the immediate resignation of the national chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, for endorsing Senator Ademola Adeleke as the PDP candidate for the 2022 Osun governorship election.

The convener of the group, Funmiso Babarinde, in a statement obtained by EKOHOTBLOG, said the purported endorsement of Adeleke by Secondus was against the PDP constitution.

The statement read in parts, “Quoting Secondus, who spoke through Odeyemi, our national chairman said, it does not matter if anybody else comes out to contest against Ademola Adeleke. The fact remains that the National Chairman has no other candidate in mind but Adeleke.

“The stance of the PDP national chairman is unbecoming and we consider it another affront against Dr. Bukola Saraki-led reconciliation committee of the party.” he stated.
