Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has officially resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), citing a worsening national leadership crisis that has made his continued membership untenable.
Governor Exits PDP Over Leadership Crisis
The resignation was formalized when Adeleke submitted his letter to party leaders in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government Area, on November 4, 2025.
According to the governor, prolonged internal conflicts within the party had weakened its stability and no longer aligned with his political principles.
Adeleke Thanks Supporters
In his resignation letter, Adeleke expressed appreciation to supporters who have stood by him throughout his political career—from his tenure in the Senate to his current position as governor.
He stated:
“Due to the current crisis within the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (@OfficialPDPNig) at the national level, on the 4th of November, 2025, I officially conveyed my resignation letter as a member to the leadership of the party in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North local government.
I thanked the party and its numerous members and supporters for the opportunities given to me to use the platform for my elections as first a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and now as Governor of Osun State.”
Implications for PDP
The resignation of Governor Adeleke adds new tension to the opposition party and may trigger further internal fractures as the PDP continues to grapple with national leadership disputes. Political analysts predict that this development could influence party dynamics both in Osun State and nationally.
