Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, has officially withdrawn his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The seasoned lawmaker, a prominent political figure in Osun East and a strong ally of Governor Ademola Adeleke, submitted his resignation in a letter dated July 12, 2025.

The letter was addressed to the party chairman of Ward 4 in Obokun Local Government Area, Osun State.
Citing deep-seated internal rifts and prolonged legal disputes within the PDP at the national level following the 2023 general elections, Fadahunsi explained the reasoning behind his departure.
The letter reads in part: “I wish to formally notify you that I am resigning my Membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect, due to the irreparable, irreconcilable differences and protracted legal battles that have bedeviled the party at the National level after the 2023 general elections.
“This was concluded after consultation and engagement with my political associates, family and friends. It is my wish that you accept my resignation in good faith.”
Fadahunsi’s exit marks a significant political shift within the PDP in Osun State, particularly in the Ijesa region where he holds considerable influence.
