Gov. Adeleke Quits PDP amid Leadership Crisis

By Funmi Ojo

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has ignited shockwaves across the political landscape by formally quitting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—a decision he made effective November 4, 2025.

His spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, confirmed the bombshell announcement, revealing that the governor had already sent a resignation letter to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, in Ede North.

In the letter, Governor Adeleke blamed his dramatic exit on a deepening crisis within the PDP’s national leadership, declaring that the turmoil left him with no choice but to walk away immediately.

“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 in the personally signed letter.

Despite the abrupt break, Governor Adeleke expressed gratitude to the party that powered his rise—from Senator for Osun West to Governor of Osun State.

His resignation now casts a long shadow over Osun State’s political future, fueling speculation about his next move as his administration enters a decisive phase.
