Breaking: Osun Gov. Adeleke resigns from PDP amid crisis

Osun Gov. Ademola Adeleke has resigned from People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and this is official.

The governor’s resignation letter was shared on social media by his aide, Olawale Rasheed, late Monday evening, Persecondnews reports.

The letter showed that Adeleke had resigned ahead of the November 16, 2025 national convention of the party held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The letter showed that Adeleke has resigned from the PDP since November 4, 2025.

The governor addressed his resignation letter to the PDP Chairman of his ward 2, Sagba Abogunde of Ede North Local government, Osun State, citing the crisis at the national level of PDP as reason for his resignation.

The letter personally signed by him reads: “Due to the current crisis within the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my membership of the PDP with immediate effect.

“I thank the People’s Democratic Party for the opportunities given to me for my elections as a Senator (Represented Osun West) and as Governor of Osun State under the People’s Democratic Party.”

Adeleke’s resignation letter came to light following controversies over the primary for the Osun 2026 governorship election scheduled to hold today, Tuesday, 2 December.

The Osun chapter of PDP had on Tuesday announced postponement of the primary over the crisis and factionalisation of the party at the national level.

However, the National Working Committee of the party elected at the November 16 convention had insisted that the primary will go on, though Adeleke was the only aspirant known to have bought the ticket.

Already, there are speculations that Adeleke has already decided to seek for second term on the platform of Accord political party.

Some of the aides of the governor have reportedly taken over Accord Party in state.

Persecondnews recalls that attempts by Adeleke to join the All Progressives Congress some months ago was frustrated by the leadership of the party in the state.
