PDP, NNPP conflict over Osun gov’s reelection bid

“Our possibilities of successful Osun State within the 2026 ballot are very shiny. The NNPP has made vital progress since its inception.

“The continuing financial hardship is demarketing the APC on the nationwide degree, whereas the PDP administration in Osun is struggling to exhibit capability in governance. This presents a transparent alternative for us to finish Adeleke’s reign,” Odeyemi stated.

Flanked by the Ekiti State NNPP Chairman, Edward Ayeni, and the Ogun State NNPP Publicity Secretary, Omokehinde Olowu, Odeyemi urged social gathering members to stay steadfast, assuring them of imminent success.

Reacting to the NNPP’s assertion, the Osun PDP dismissed the claims as mere rhetoric, asserting that Governor Adeleke’s achievements would safe his reelection.

Talking to The PidomNigeria, the PDP Director of Media and Publicity, Oladele Bamiji, stated, “The NNPP’s assertions are baseless and pushed by the necessity to please their sponsors.
