OSUN STATE – In a significant political development, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has formally resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The resignation comes less than 24 hours before the party’s scheduled governorship primary election.
The governor’s decision, communicated via a letter dated November 4 but made public on Monday, December 2, 2025, directly cites the protracted internal crisis plaguing the PDP’s national leadership as his reason for departure.
“Due to the current crisis of the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my Membership of the People’s Democratic Party with immediate effect,” the letter stated. Adeleke expressed gratitude to the party for the platform to serve as Senator and Governor.
Confirming the seismic shift, the Osun State PDP Chairman, Mr. Sunday Bisi, announced the indefinite postponement of Tuesday’s primary election. He further indicated that Governor Adeleke is no longer seeking the party’s nomination for the upcoming gubernatorial race.
This move throws the political landscape of Osun State into uncertainty and marks a major setback for the opposition PDP, which is already grappling with factional disputes at the national level.
