Just days after his resignation, Odeyemi publicly unveiled his new political platform and confirmed his appointment as the pioneer Acting Chairman of the Democratic Leadership Alliance in Osun State.
His appointment was conveyed in a letter dated July 17, 2026, signed by the National Chairman of the DLA, Samuel Memeh. According to the letter, the decision was approved by the party’s National Executive Committee, which entrusted him with the responsibility of establishing and strengthening the party’s presence across Osun State.
The appointment letter outlined several key responsibilities for Odeyemi, including building and maintaining party structures, promoting the party’s constitution and ideology, and reporting the activities of the Osun chapter directly to the National Working Committee.
Speaking after accepting the appointment, Odeyemi expressed gratitude to the leadership of the Democratic Leadership Alliance for the confidence placed in him.
“I thank the National Chairman, the National Executive Committee, and the National Working Committee for entrusting me with this responsibility. I accept this appointment with humility and a strong sense of responsibility,” he stated.
He further revealed that his immediate focus would be on uniting members, fostering discipline within the party, and positioning the DLA as a viable political alternative for the people of Osun State.
“My immediate priority is to unite genuine members, promote discipline within the party, and position the DLA as a credible alternative for residents of Osun seeking purposeful leadership,” he added.
Odeyemi also assured the party’s national leadership of transparent administration in the state chapter and called on members and stakeholders to rally behind the new political movement.
“We will run the party with transparency and commitment. I call on members and stakeholders to support this new political platform,” he said.
