The Osun State Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi, has appealed to the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party members in Ife Federal constituency over lingering differences that occurred at the constituency meeting of the party on Monday.
Adewusi, in a statement released by his press secretary, Goke Awoyemi in Osogbo on Wednesday called on all aggrieved members to sheath their swords in the interest of the party as this is election period.
According to the statement, the attention of the office of the Deputy Governor, Osun State, Prince Kola Adewusi has been drawn to various media publications on a seemingly crisis that reportedly erupted at a meeting on Ife East Local Government Area among the political gladiators in Ife Federal constituency zone, insinuating the vote of no confidence, and suspension of His Excellency, Prince Kola Adewusi, Deputy Governor, Osun State, & a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Professor Wale Oladipo.
“We wish to bring it to the awareness of the general public that in as much as internal wranglings are embedded in party politicking, this should strengthen the system, and our collective reasoning, and should not be allowed to weaken our collective effort in serving our immediate communities, and society at large. We therefore appeal to both sides to sheath their swords, and allow top hierarchy of the party to pacify the aggrieved.
“This is not the season to celebrate crisis, and promote one, but a time to put effort together, and gear up towards working together with a view to celebrating our hard working and highly performing Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in August, 2026.
“To the public media space that has been awashed with this unpleasant report, we also want them to see same as a minor family affair, that will be resolved in a family way. When we quarrel with our wives before leaving home in the morning, we come to amicable settlement in the other room when we return at night. It is a storm in a tea cup”, Adewusi said.
