Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
A statement released by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, late on Monday night revealed that the governor submitted his resignation since November 4, 2025 in a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, in Ede North Local Government Area of Osun State.
The governor said he decided to leave the party because of the ongoing crisis within the national leadership of the PDP.
“Due to the current crisis within the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my membership of the PDP with immediate effect.” he wrote.
Adeleke also thanked the party for the opportunity it gave him to serve as a senator representing Osun West and later as governor of Osun State.
Although the governor is yet to announce the party he is set to join officially, rumours are circulating that he may be planning to join the Accord Party as preparations begin for the 2026 governorship election in the state.
Adeleke’s resignation from the PDP leaves the party with only one governor in the South-West, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
The PDP has been in crisis following its loss in the 2023 general election, with different factions emerging. Turaki’s emergence as the new chairman of the party, which was expected to resolve the crisis, has further plunged it into a deeper one.
