Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
This development comes less than 24 hours to the PDP governorship primary election.
Adeleke communicated his decision in a letter which surfaced on Monday, but was dated November 4, 2025.
The governor cited the crisis in the party as the reason behind his decision.
It read: “Due to the current crisis of the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my Membership of the People’s Democratic Party 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.”
The PDP Chairman in Osun State, Mr Sunday Bisi, on Monday said the party would not hold the primary election on Tuesday as scheduled due to factional crisis within the party.
Bisi also said that Adeleke is no longer interested in picking the party’s nomination as a result of the crisis.
