The resignation, announced in a letter obtained by 9japarrot media and addressed to the PDP Chairman in Ward 2, Ede Local Government, was attributed to the current crisis of the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The letter, personally signed by the Governor, reads:

9japarrot reports that the resignation comes amidst confirmed internal turmoil within the PDP, which has recently seen deep divisions, legal battles, and conflicts over the composition and direction of the party’s national leadership ahead of its scheduled 2025 National Convention.
This development has significant implications for the political landscape in Osun State and the national PDP.
