The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged the members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to unite and get the party back to winning ways in future elections.
Speaking on Saturday at the commissioning of the South West Secretariat of the PDP
at Ibadan, Governor Adeleke appealed for party members to close ranks, forget grievances and work for the success of the party.
He appealed that PDP members should work together in memory of the late zonal Vice Chairman,
Soji Adagunodo
, after whom the building was named.
According to the Governor,“The significance of today’s event is the clarion call for unity and deeper brotherhood among PDP at home and abroad. We must forget the past of division and unite for the good of our dear party.
“It is better for us to fight each other inside Government House than outside. We must refocus attention on building strong administrative operational structures.
“With that, we can deploy for elections, retain our existing states and even expand our reach across the six zones of the federation.
“First is that we are opening a major administrative hub for the party in the South West at a very critical point in our national life.
“Second is that the naming of the Secretariat is after my late brother, Soji Adagunodo, a top political leader and ally from my state before his transition,”he noted.
The Osun State Governor, however, mourned the late Adagunodo, expressing that he wished the late PDP chieftain was alive to witness the honour.
“I am therefore in a sober mood because our brother is not here with us to witness the honour being done to his memory. I pray God Almighty grant him eternal rest,”he noted.
