The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State has dismissed reports sluggesting that the party is facing a crisis following the exit of its former Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Leye Igbabo.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 30th September, 2025, the State Secretary of the party, Barr. Olujimi Oluseye, described the media report published by sunshinetruthng.com as misleading and unreflective of the true state of affairs in the party.
According to the PDP, the removal of Igbabo was part of a deliberate and strategic reorganisation aimed at strengthening and repositioning the party for upcoming political tasks. The party disclosed that the immediate past Working Committee had already stopped Igbabo from performing media duties three months ago due to questions over his loyalty and motives.
The statement accused Igbabo of disloyalty, poor coordination, and prioritising self-promotion over party unity, which, it said, weakened his performance and caused repeated embarrassment to the organisation. Although the leadership said it gave him the option of resigning honourably, he allegedly rejected the offer and instead issued a “scathing” press release to mislead the public.
“The exit of one individual does not amount to a crisis. On the contrary, it provides an opportunity to inject fresh capacity and strengthen our collective resolve,” the statement read, stressing that the PDP in Ondo State remains strong, united, and forward-looking.
The party further urged the media to verify reports before publication and resist sensational narratives, insisting it remains a credible alternative for the people of the state.
