Osun State PDP Dismisses APC’s Calls for State of Emergency, Describes Claims as Baseless

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) claims that the state is in crisis, dismissing calls for a state of emergency as baseless and an act of desperation.

According to the PDP, democratic governance is functioning smoothly across all levels in the state, with the judiciary, state assembly, and executive branch all operational .

The PDP criticized the APC’s comparison of Osun to Rivers State, stating that the political dynamics in both states are entirely different.

The party accused the APC of inciting the recent local government crisis and blamed the opposition for the violence that erupted during the dispute over council leadership.

The PDP also refuted claims that the Adeleke administration disobeyed court orders, stating that the government has fully complied with judicial rulings. The party assured that governance in Osun remains stable, despite political tensions.

In contrast, the Osun APC had urged the presidency to declare a state of emergency in the state, citing a total collapse of governance at the grassroots level.
