Adeleke Quits PDP, Cites Deepening National Crisis
Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke has walked away from the Peoples Democratic Party, drawing a firm line under what he described as an unending leadership crisis at the party’s national level. His resignation, dated 4 November 2025 and addressed to party officials in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government, surfaced on Monday after being released through his personal social media page. The tone of the letter carried a hint of weariness, as though the governor had held on longer than circumstances allowed. Adeleke thanked the PDP for shaping his political journey from his days in the Senate to his current role as governor. That note of gratitude, however, did little to soften the weight of his departure, which many within the party had privately anticipated. State party figures had already suggested that he was unlikely to seek the PDP ticket for the 2026 governorship election unless the festering national dispute found resolution. His exit now injects a fresh ounce of uncertainty into Osun politics. Eyes have turned sharply towards his next political home, a decision that could tilt the early contours of the 2026 race. The silence around his next move only intensifies the suspense.
