The Digest:

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has resigned his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing the debilitating national leadership crisis as his reason. This decision, made public hours before a scheduled but contentious governorship primary, explores the ultimate consequence of institutional decay, forcing a reckoning on the stability of major political vehicles.

  • Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has resigned his membership from the PDP.
  • A resignation letter dated November 4, 2025, addressed to his ward chairman, surfaced publicly.
  • He attributed his decision to the crisis within the PDP's national leadership.
  • The state PDP chairman had earlier announced the postponement of the party's governorship primary.
  • Governor Adeleke was stated to be no longer interested in the party's nomination due to the turmoil.
