Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke Resigns from PDP, Cites Party Crisis
In a shocking move, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing persistent leadership turmoil at the party’s national level. Adeleke made the announcement in a statement shared on his Instagram page, revealing that he submitted his resignation letter to party officials on November 4, 2025
In his resignation letter, Adeleke expressed his gratitude to the party and its members for the opportunities they had provided him, including his tenure as a Senator and Governor of Osun State. However, he cited the ongoing crisis within the party’s leadership as the reason for his decision to leave

Adeleke’s resignation is a significant blow to the PDP, especially given his influential position as Governor of Osun State. Earlier reports had suggested that Adeleke might not seek the party’s nomination for the 2026 governorship election unless the internal conflicts were resolved. The party’s leadership had expressed hope that a resolution could persuade him to reconsider
Adeleke’s resignation raises questions about his future plans and potential implications for the PDP. As the party grapples with internal conflicts, Adeleke’s departure may exacerbate the situation. It remains to be seen how this development will affect the party’s chances in future elections
