- Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has formally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, citing the party’s national leadership crisis, in a move that reshapes the state’s political landscape ahead of 2026.
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform through which he rose to national prominence as a senator and later as governor.
Adeleke made the announcement late Monday in a post on his official X handle, where he shared a copy of his resignation letter dated November 4, 2025. The letter was addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, in Ede North Local Government Area of Osun State.
In the letter, Adeleke attributed his decision to the ongoing crisis within the PDP’s national leadership.
“Due to the current crisis of the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect,” he wrote.
The governor also expressed appreciation to the party for providing the platform that enabled his election as Senator for Osun West (2017–2019) and later as Governor of Osun State.
The resignation letter indicates that the ward chairman received and acknowledged his withdrawal on November 4. Adeleke, however, did not reveal his next political destination, leaving speculation about his future moves ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
Adeleke’s Political Timeline
- Senator (2017–2019): Won the Osun West senatorial by-election in 2017.
- Governor (2022–present): Sworn in on November 27, 2022, after defeating then-incumbent Gboyega Oyetola.
- Resignation (2025): His exit from the PDP marks a major shift in Osun politics and sets the stage for significant realignments.
