Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke has joined another party after dumping the PDP.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the governor of Osun State, Governor Ademola Adeleke, has announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party, to the Accord Party.
This is coming after Adeleke recently resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal crises within the party.
According to a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, in Ede North Local Government Area, the Osun State Governor formally withdrew from the party on November 4, 2025.
In the letter, Adeleke attributed his exit to the crisis at the national level.
“Due to the current crisis within the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my membership of the People’s Democratic Party with immediate effect,” the letter read.
Governor Adeleke, who rose to political prominence through the PDP, expressed gratitude for the role the party played in his political journey.
“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,” he stated.
In an announcement on Tuesday evening, December 9, 2025, Governor Adeleke unveiled his new political platform as the Accord Party.
Meanwhile, Newsone reports that Governor Adeleke’s defection comes the same day the governor of Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party, to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the nation’s ruling party.
