Ogun PDP Gets New Leadership as NWC Approves State Executives

The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has inaugurated its newly elected executives to steer the affairs of the party in the state for the next three years.

The inauguration and handing-over ceremony were held on Monday at the party’s secretariat in Abeokuta, the state capital. The executives were elected at the last congress held in September 2024.

The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Dada Awoleye, while handing over the certificate of return to the new chairman, Abayomi Tella, encouraged the executives to do all within their capacity to secure the party’s victory in the next general elections.

Awoleye said, “Unity is key to achieving set goals in political parties. I thereby urge the new executives to bring everybody together, talk to all, and bring everyone under the umbrella; the party’s success depends on its togetherness.”

In his acceptance speech, Tella assured that the executives would do all they could to rejuvenate and reposition the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

He maintained that there are no factions in the party and urged aggrieved members to return to their roots.

He said, “In accordance with the law that created the party called PDP, a congress is held, and it is the legal congress; every other one is a nullity.

“Twins born on the same day with the same umbilical cord have differences, and where interests abound, there will be differences.

“I have a team that is ready to go. We are going with that spirit to meet our people, even those in the other party who are currently suffering and smiling, to tell them to come; we built this party together, so come back and join us as we prepare to deliver the residents of the state from the inflicted hardship of the APC-led government.”
