“Due to the current crisis within the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, I hereby resign my membership of the PDP with immediate effect,” he stated in the letter.
He also expressed gratitude to the party for the platform it provided him to serve as Senator for Osun West and later as Governor of Osun State.
The governor’s political future has been widely debated, with the PDP’s ongoing legal battles and internal instability raising questions about his next move.

His departure comes at a critical moment for the opposition party, which continues to grapple with internal fractures that have weakened its national structure.
