Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has formally resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), sending shockwaves through the Nigerian political landscape.
The decision, which he communicated to the party leadership at his Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government Area, comes amid PDP’s current internal turmoil.
He stated: “Due to the ongoing crisis within the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (#OfficialPDPNig) at the national level, I officially conveyed my resignation letter as a member to the party leadership in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government on November 4, 2025.
“I thank the party and its many members and supporters for the opportunities they have provided me, first as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and now as Governor of Osun State.”
This comes after the PDP state chapter indicated that Adeleke was unlikely to seek the party’s nomination for the 2026 governorship election unless the internal conflicts were resolved.
The leadership had expressed hope that a resolution, recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission, could persuade him otherwise.
