Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), attributing his departure to ongoing leadership conflicts at the party’s national level.
In a statement posted on his Instagram page on Monday night, Adeleke confirmed that he submitted his resignation to PDP officials in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government, on November 4, 2025.
He stated,
“Due to the persistent leadership crisis within the People’s Democratic Party (#OfficialPDPNig) at the national level, I formally submitted my resignation as a member to the party leadership in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government on November 4, 2025. I am grateful to the party, its members, and supporters for the opportunities I have had, first as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and now as Governor of Osun State.”
Earlier reports from the PDP Osun State chapter indicated that Adeleke was unlikely to contest for the party’s nomination in the 2026 governorship election unless internal conflicts were resolved. The party had expressed hope that a resolution, recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), could influence him to reconsider.
