Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), less than 24 hours before the party’s scheduled governorship primary.
His decision comes amid deepening factional crises within the party. Earlier on Monday, Osun PDP Chairman, Sunday Bisi, announced that the primary would no longer hold due to unresolved internal disputes and revealed that the governor had lost interest in seeking the party’s ticket.
However, a letter from the PDP National Secretariat insisted the primary would proceed on Tuesday at the Atlantic Multipurpose Hall in Osogbo.
Adeleke’s resignation letter, dated November 4, 2025, and addressed to the chairman of Sagba Ward 2 in Ede, surfaced on Monday evening. In the letter, he attributed his exit to the “current crisis of the national leadership” of the PDP.
He expressed appreciation to the party for the platform that enabled his election as Senator representing Osun West and later as Governor of Osun State.
