The Governor of Osun State and Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention Planning Committee, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has expressed confidence that the party’s forthcoming National Convention will be well-coordinated, peaceful, and successful.
Addressing journalists in Abuja shortly after the inaugural meeting of the Accommodation Sub-Committee of the convention, Governor Adeleke stated that the party had established a robust organizational framework to ensure a seamless event.
According to him, all issues relating to accommodation logistics for delegates and party officials have been comprehensively addressed to avoid last-minute challenges.
“We have concluded our inaugural meeting, and everything that needed to be sorted out has been addressed. The PDP believes in proper organisation, doing things the right way, and in accordance with the rule of law.
“We have successfully organised many conventions in the past, and this one will be even more successful. By the special grace of God, the PDP will continue to grow from strength to strength,” he stated.
Governor Adeleke, who also chairs the Accommodation Committee, emphasised that the sub-committee is working closely with other committees to ensure that delegates from across the country are adequately catered for.
“We are making sure that all our delegates and officials are properly accommodated. We are leaving no stone unturned to make this convention a model for others to follow. The PDP has always set the pace in terms of planning and execution, and this convention will not be different,” he added.
On internal party matters, Adeleke reiterated that the PDP remains united and capable of resolving its challenges without external interference.
He described recent efforts by some individuals to exaggerate internal issues as unnecessary, stressing that the party treats disagreements as family affairs.
“I can assure you that we are meeting and resolving our issues internally. It is a family affair. We don’t want anyone outside to add sugar, pepper, or salt to the matter. The PDP is a family, and we know how to manage our affairs,” he said.
