Osun Gov Adeleke resigns from PDP, silent on new party
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), creating fresh uncertainty in the state’s political space ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
Although the governor only confirmed his exit on Monday, The Informant247 gathered that Adeleke submitted his resignation about a month earlier.
The letter, personally signed by him and dated November 4, 2025, indicated that he had already withdrawn from the party before the matter became public.
His Chief Press Secretary, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, in a statement, said the resignation letter was addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, in Ede North Local Government Area.
In the letter, Adeleke said he was leaving the party due to the “current crisis within the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
He also thanked the PDP for the platforms that enabled his election as Senator representing Osun West and later as Governor.
However, neither the letter nor the CPS statement gave any clue about the governor’s next political destination.
His silence has triggered speculation across Osun State, especially as political parties intensify preparations for their 2026 governorship primaries.
