Tosin Alabi Steps Down For Unity, Not Consensus Arrangement
The narrative surrounding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency has taken a new turn, as clarifications emerge over reports of a purported consensus arrangement ahead of the 2027 House of Representatives race.
This is as Hon Ezekiel Temitope Oladimeji politically known as OTOPE has emerged as the consensus ahead of other contestants from Ona-Ara.
Contrary to claims that a consensus candidate has been adopted by party leaders, it has been reliably gathered that Hon. Tosin Alabi’s decision to step down was entirely voluntary and not the outcome of any negotiated agreement.
The development, which had earlier been linked to a high-level stakeholders’ meeting, is now understood to be a personal and strategic move by Alabi, driven by his commitment to the advancement of Omituntun 3.0, as well as the need to sustain unity, peace, and cohesion within the PDP in the constituency.
Insiders maintain that portraying his withdrawal as part of a consensus arrangement misrepresents the true intent behind the decision, which was rooted in statesmanship and a desire to avoid internal discord.
The clarification is expected to reshape ongoing political conversations within Egbeda/Ona-Ara, as party members and observers continue to follow developments leading up to the next general election.
As consultations persist, stakeholders are being urged to prioritize truth, transparency, and unity in strengthening the PDP’s position across the constituency.
