The Osun State Deputy Governor, Kola Adewusi, has appealed to all members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ife Federal Constituency to allow the leadership of the party to facilitate a swift and amicable resolution of the party crisis.

Adewusi stated that the development was a storm in a teacup.

DAILY POST had reported earlier that the party in the Federal Constituency had passed a vote of no confidence on Adewusi and two other PDP chieftains for alleged anti-party activities.

However, reacting to the development, the Osun PDP Chairman, Sunday Bisi, in a statement on Tuesday, called for calm over the development.

Bisi also called on party members in Ife Federal Constituency to suspend further actions capable of escalating the situation.

The Osun Deputy Governor, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Goke Awoyemi, on Wednesday, said the internal disagreements are embedded in general party politicking.

He also said the issue must never be allowed to distract the party members from their core mission of serving the people of Osun State.

The statement reads in part:

“The attention of the office of the Deputy Governor, Osun State, Prince Kola Adewusi, has been drawn to various media publications on a seeming crisis that reportedly erupted at a meeting in 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, and a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Professor Wale Oladipo.

“We wish to bring it to the awareness of the general public that inasmuch 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.”

While appealing for both sides to sheath their swords and allow the top hierarchy of the party to pacify the aggrieved, Adewusi said this is not the season to celebrate a crisis and promote one, but a time to put efforts together and gear up towards working with a view to celebrating our hardworking and highly performing Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in August 2026.

“To the public media space that has been awash with this unpleasant report, we also want them to see the 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 an amicable settlement in the other room when we return at night. It is a storm in a teacup,” the statement added.
