The South South Zonal Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), under the leadership of Chief Dan Osi Orbih, has issued a firm warning to Mr. Debo Ologunagba, the Party’s National Publicity Secretary. The committee has directed him to refrain from interfering with or discussing matters related to the Party’s affairs in the South South Zone and its respective states.

This warning comes in light of a recent reckless statement attributed to Ologunagba, in which he criticized Governors Pastor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom and Elder Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta States, respectively, for their open declaration of support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress in the 2027 general elections. He should stay away from Edo PDP and his unsolicited unholy comments during this Holy Week.

In a statement signed on its behalf by the Zonal Publicity Secretary Prince Etim Isong, the Zonal leadership noted that Mr. Ologunagba has failed to differentiate between expressing personal opinion and officially speaking on behalf of the People’s Democratic Party. They stressed that such a character is unfit to hold the sacred office of the National Publicity Secretary of the Party.

The Party in the South South Zone is tired of the constant embarrassing and shameful conduct of this Debo Ologunagba and wishes for him to desist, forthwith, from interfering, discussing, or issuing any statements regarding issues concerning or relating to the Party in the South South Zone or any of its States. Ignoring this warning will attract severe consequences, the Zonal leadership warns.

The Party’s leadership emphasized that Ologunagba’s tendency to make unguarded statements has contributed to the many avoidable crises the Party has faced. His unprofessional conduct is seen as a significant factor in the PDP’s ongoing struggles to regain power in Ondo State.

Furthermore, the Zonal leadership firmly stated that acts of disrespect towards leaders of the Party in the South South will not be tolerated from Ologunagba or anyone else. They reiterated that Ologunagba’s carelessness has also led to affronts demonstrated by the Party’s Governors’ Forum toward the nation’s apex Court regarding recent pronouncements concerning the office of the National Secretary of the Party.

In light of these issues, the South South Zonal Working Committee reiterates that Ologunagba is unfit to speak for the Party in matters affecting its interests in this zone.
