What\u2019s left are political dregs with no electoral value,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He described the party as having \u201cno structure and no hope to retain power in future elections\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The APC chairman said the PDP collapsed after the 2023 polls and had since become \u201ca private property of the Adeleke dynasty\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBright minds and people with good names to protect, who could not tolerate the deceit, shenanigans and high-level corruption and brigandage the Adeleke government represents, daily troop out from the tattered umbrella into our party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lawal also dismissed the PDP caucus\u2019 claim that it remained the most popular political group in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe self-adulation of the PDP caucus that it remains the most popular party in Osun State is merely self-consolatory, as the claim could not be substantiated with facts,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He queried whether the PDP considered the views of residents before making such a claim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid the caucus aggregate the opinions of the parents and students of the University of Ilesa, where students are charged N1.5 million per session, before arriving at its claim?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>He also criticised the governor over alleged extravagant spending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid the caucus seek the opinion of the Osun State public, who are angry that Governor Adeleke devoted N13 billion to purchase luxury cars for his aides and unproductive politicians without buying a single bus to ease public transport in the state?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lawal further claimed that killings linked to the last election formed part of the APC\u2019s rejection of Adeleke.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cthe killing of Remi Abass, former Irewole LG chairman and Tinubu campaigner, remains a major concern for party stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also alleged that some PDP figures were facing corruption investigations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral PDP officials are under probe by the EFCC and ICPC over allegations of financial misdeeds,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Lawal criticised Adeleke\u2019s political posture, saying, \u201cit is hypocritical for the governor to attack Tinubu\u2019s administration in Osun while pretending to be an ally in Abuja.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He accused the governor of failing to invest increased federal allocations into areas that would improve public welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Lawal said residents had grown tired of Adeleke\u2019s style of governance and were pleased when his alleged defection attempt was blocked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead of moaning, the governor and his party should get ready to face the judgment of the electorate in 2026,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawal says PDP now hosts political dregs and lacks any real structure or future electoral strength.
