There are strong indications that the Deputy Governor of Osun State, Kola Adewusi, might be impeached after party members allegedly passed a vote of no confindence in him.
However, Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for calm.
It said:
The attention of the Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a communiqué issued by some stakeholders in Ife Federal Constituency on Monday, 1st September, 2025, wherein a vote of no confidence was purportedly passed on highly respected leaders of our great party.
The State Leadership of the PDP wishes to state as follows:
The party directs all members and stakeholders in Ife Federal Constituency to immediately suspend further actions capable of escalating the situation. All concerned are hereby instructed to maintain status quo in line with the conflict resolution mechanisms of our party.
The State Chapter of the PDP reiterates its respect and high regard for leaders of the party, particularly His Excellency, Prince Kola Adewusi, Deputy Governor of Osun State, and Prof Wale Oladipo, member of the PDP Board of Trustees. They remain critical pillars of our party, and any grievances directed at them must be channelled strictly through the internal conflict resolution mechanisms of the party, not through unilateral pronouncements or public declarations.
The PDP warns that any action capable of undermining the authority of the party or flouting its rules and procedures will not be tolerated. Our party is governed by laws, guidelines, and established processes. Every member is therefore expected to conduct themselves accordingly.
The party is taking immediate steps, summoning concerned stakeholders to a meeting with a view to resolving all issues as members of the same family.
In conclusion, the Osun PDP strongly urges all contending forces in Ifeland to sheath their swords and embrace peace in the spirit of unity and discipline expected of us by the good people of Osun State.
Signed:
Hon. Sunday Bisi
State Chairman, PDP, Osun State.
