All The Shocking Details As PDP Declares Adedamola Osun Flagbearer, Beats Gov Adeleke in Tense Primary
In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Osun’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared Hon. Adebayo Adedamola as its governorship flagbearer after a fiercely contested primary that saw him defeat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The keenly watched primary, held amid heavy security and intense party interest, drew party delegates from across the state. What many expected to be a smooth victory for the governor turned into a tightly fought race, with Fryo gaining momentum during delegate consultations and strategic bloc alignments.
According to party officials, Fryo clinched the majority of valid votes after what they described as a transparent, credible, and highly competitive exercise. His supporters erupted in celebration as the final tally was announced, chanting solidarity songs and hailing what they called “a new direction for Osun PDP.”
Adedamola, popularlcy called Fryo is said to be a close ally of APC stalwart, Iyiola Omisore. Fryo was among the people arrested over the killing of late Attorney General, Chief Bola Ige.
Political analysts say the upset signals a significant shift within the party’s power structure, as the result reflects growing agitation for fresh leadership and a repositioning of the party’s influence across local government blocs.
Governor Adeleke, who had sought the party’s ticket to secure a second term, was said to have congratulated Fryo in a closed-door exchange, though members of his camp are still digesting the unexpected outcome.
Fryo, in his acceptance speech, promised to unify the party, consolidate on its achievements, and present a formidable front ahead of the general elections. He described his victory as “a mandate for renewal” and urged party faithful to rally behind him for what he termed the decisive battle ahead.
With this development, all eyes are now on how the PDP navigates the post-primary atmosphere and prepares for a heated governorship election season in Osun State.
