Prior reports from the PDP’s Osun State chapter suggested that Adeleke might not pursue the party’s nomination for the 2026 governorship election unless the internal crises were resolved. Party officials had expressed optimism that a resolution recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could influence him to reconsider.
Adeleke’s resignation marks a significant development in the state’s political landscape, raising questions about his next political steps and the potential impact on the 2026 governorship race.
