In a stunning political development, Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with documents showing he formally exited the party on November 4, 2025.
The resignation, contained in a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, Ede North Local Government, cited deepening crises within the party’s national leadership as the reason for his withdrawal.
“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,” Governor Adeleke stated in the personally signed letter.
He expressed gratitude to the party for the platform that enabled his rise to national prominence: “I thank the People’s Democratic Party for the opportunities given to me for my elections as a Senator (representing Osun West) and as Governor of Osun State under the People’s Democratic Party.”
The disclosure, made public on Monday, was confirmed by the Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, who signed the official release.
Adeleke’s resignation marks a major political shift in Osun State and raises critical questions about his next political alignment as the state and nation gear up for future elections.
