Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State gathered earlier today, Wednesday, at the party’s State Secretariat in Alagbaka, Akure, in a stirring show of unity and renewed purpose. The convergence, held under the auspices of the State Elders’ Caucus, was marked by passionate declarations of loyalty to the party and a unified resolve to reposition the PDP as the credible alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Rising from the packed and encompassing meeting, the leaders affirmed their full alignment with the congress timetable as released by the PDP National Secretariat, describing it as a golden opportunity to strengthen internal democracy and usher in a more vibrant, cohesive, and forward-looking party structure. With longstanding rifts now mended and personal ambitions subordinated to the collective good, the elders maintained that the PDP in Ondo has never been more united.
Chairman of the State Caretaker Committee, Rt. Hon. Bakkita Bello, led the charge with an impassioned address, noting that the party is fully prepared for credible and all-inclusive congresses across the 18 local governments. He emphasized that the failures of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had left a leadership vacuum the PDP is morally and structurally positioned to fill. “Our people are yearning for responsive governance, and the PDP stands ready to answer that call,” he declared.
Among the political heavyweights in attendance were the Chairman of the Elders Caucus, Dr. Tayo Dairo; former Deputy Governor Omolade Oluwateru; renowned legal luminary and former governorship candidate, Barr. Eyitayo Jegede, SAN; PDP Board of Trustees member and party statesman, Olorogun Eddy Olafeso; gubernatorial hopeful, Barr. Ola Mafo; respected elder Chief Segun Adegoke; and former State Chairman and member of NEC, Hon. Clement Faboyede. Also present were all Local Government PDP Chairmen and an array of distinguished leaders drawn from across the three senatorial districts.
In a rousing conclusion, the elders called on members across the state to close ranks, rise above petty divisions, and embrace the shared goal of electoral redemption. With confidence and clarity of purpose, they declared that the PDP in Ondo is once again poised to reclaim its rightful place as the custodian of the people’s mandate and the architect of a better tomorrow.
