Any deviation from these procedures is null and void under the party\u2019s constitution.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a statement issued on Wednesday, six PDP lawmakers, Bamidele Salam, Mudashiru Lukman Alani, Akanni Clement Ademola, Adewale Moruf Adebayo, Adetunji Abidemi Olusoji, and Oladebo Lanre Omoleye, expressed disappointment in Governor Makinde and urged him to refrain from actions that could threaten Osun State\u2019s peace or destabilize its political environment.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lawmakers condemned the alleged primaries, claiming they were orchestrated with \u201cthugs and political jobbers\u201d brought from Ibadan, Oyo State. According to the caucus, these actions portray Governor Makinde as \u201ca treacherous character whose desperation for regional political influence has driven him to untoward conduct.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The statement reiterated that valid primaries require adherence to established party procedures, and rejected the results declaring Fryo as the PDP governorship candidate for 2026. The caucus also warned Fryo against presenting himself as a candidate, describing it as \u201ccriminal impersonation\u201d and a provocation to law-abiding PDP members in Osun.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">While criticizing Governor Makinde for \u201cpolitical immaturity and blind ambition,\u201d the lawmakers praised the sitting Governor of Osun State for inclusive leadership and adherence to party norms.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reaffirming their commitment as party leaders and national stakeholders, the Osun caucus called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to \u201cdiscard the phony results\u201d and ensure that candidate selection complies with both the PDP Constitution and the Electoral Act.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses Members of the Osun State caucus in the House of Representatives have formally rejected the purported PDP governorship primaries in Osun State, accusing Oyo State Governor Seyi&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":102966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
