In a dramatic political development, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), effective November 4, 2025.
According to a resignation letter addressed to the PDP Chairman for Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde of Ede North Local Government, Adeleke cited the “current crisis within the national leadership of the PDP” as the main reason for his departure. 
In the statement released by his spokesperson, Governor Adeleke expressed gratitude to the party for giving him the platform to serve — first as a Senator and then as Governor — and thanked PDP members and supporters for their role in his political journey. 
His resignation comes just hours before the scheduled PDP governorship primary election in Osun State — a primary that has now been cancelled as the party grapples with deep internal conflicts. 
At this time, Governor Adeleke has not disclosed which political party he will join next — though speculation is already rife that he may seek a fresh mandate under a different banner ahead of the 2026 Osun State election.
