- Shuns National Secretariat’ guber primary election
BY SEGUN ADEBAYO – Ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship primary election in Osun State, Governor Ademola Adeleke has resigned his membership of the country’s main opposition party.
Governor Adeleke conveyed his decision to quit the party in letter, which surfaced on late on Monday, December 1, 2025, but dated November 4, 2025
The letter, addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde in Ede, said the reason behind the development is “the current crisis of the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).”
According to the letter, titled: “Resignation of my membership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)”, the Governor said: “Due to the current crisis of the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my Membership of the People’s Democratic Party with immediate effect.
“I thank the People’s Democratic Party for the opportunities given to me for my elections as a Senator (Represented Osun West) and as Governor of Osun State under the People’s Democratic Party.”
The latest development comes on the heels of Monday’s announcement by the PDP Chairman in Osun State, Mr Sunday Bisi that the party would no longer conduct its primary election on Tuesday as scheduled as a result of the factional crisis rocking the party.
He also used the occasion to disclose Governor Adeleke’s lack of interest in the party’s nomination because of the crisis.
However, a letter that emerged from the party National Secretariat insisted that the primary election would still hold today, Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at the Atlantic Multipurpose Hall in Oshogbo, the state capital as scheduled.
