Hon. Dupe Aisida, a former chairman of Owo local government and pioneer member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been affirmed as the new chairman of the party in Ondo State.
Aisida succeeds Chief Bakitta Bello, who completed the tenure of Hon. Fatai Adams, the immediate past chairman who died in office. Alongside Aisida, other officials elected into the state executive include Chief Akin Oyewole as Deputy Chairman, Mr. Oluseye Olujimi as Secretary, Jolade Aladetan as Publicity Secretary, and Woke Akindiose as Legal Adviser.
In his acceptance remarks, Aisida pledged to unite members and rebuild the PDP’s structures across the state. He described the mandate as a product of loyalty and sacrifice by party faithful, noting that it must be carried out with humility and commitment.
He assured stakeholders that the new leadership would prioritise healing past divisions, strengthening internal democracy, and restoring confidence among members. According to him, inclusiveness, discipline, and transparency will guide the new executive team.
The chairman promised to engage both the founding fathers of the party and younger members, while also mobilising women ahead of future elections. He said the PDP would reposition itself as a viable alternative by offering constructive solutions and holding the ruling All Progressives Congress accountable.
Calling on members to close ranks, Aisida urged the party to put aside old disputes and work together to rebuild. He expressed confidence that the PDP, despite past setbacks, would rise again stronger and more united.
