Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has resigned his membership of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP).

Mallam Olawale Rasheed,Spokesperson to the State Governor, who confirmed the development, said that the resignation was contained in a letter dated November 4, 2925 , and addressed to the PDP Chairman for ward 2, Sagba Abogunde of Ede North Local government, Osun State.

The letter reads as follows: “Due to the current crisis within the national leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), I hereby resign my membership of the PDP with immediate effect.

“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”, the governor noted in the letter personally signed by him.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has forwarded a list of nominees to the State House of Assembly for screening and consideration for appointment as Commissioners in a bid to reconstitute his cabinet.

The list comprised of commissioners who were members of the State Executive Council that was dissolved by the Governor on August 10, 2025.

In a statement signed by Olayinka Oyebode Special Adviser (Media) to Ekiti State Governor, said that the decision to re-present the former commissioners for consideration by the State Assembly was jointly taken by the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and critical stakeholders of the party in Ekiti State, who impressed it on the Governor to retain the team.

The decision was hinged on the need for the party to go into the June 20, 2026 Ekiti State Governorship election as a united family.

It is believed that appointing a new set of commissioners barely seven months to the election could be counter-productive.

Recall that the party leadership, the leadership of various towns and communities and other critical stakeholders, worked with the screening committee set up by the Governor, in the selection, nomination and appointment of the Commissioners and and other appointees in 2023.

Governor Oyebanji, had at the inception of his administration, said the party and leaders of various towns and communities in the State would play crucial roles in the process leading to the appointment of people into offices in order to make them accountable to the people.

The former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi declared that he won’t run as a vice-presidential candidate with the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, or be part of any joint presidential ticket in the 2027 elections.

Amaechi declared that he is running for the presidency and will not be a running mate to anybody.

His statement comes after Atiku’s political ally and media entrepreneur, Dele Momodu, suggested that Atiku might consider the former Rivers State governor should the 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, declines to run with him.

According to Momodu, “A lot of people are underrating Amaechi. Amaechi single-handedly handed power to Buhari. Amaechi did quite well when he was governor of Rivers State. Amaechi mobilised more than any other person for Buhari, even more than Tinubu. If Obi does not make up his mind or chooses to run alone, then I believe the mantle might fall on Rotimi Amaechi.”

In response through his media aide, David Iyofor, Amaechi insisted that his ambition is solely to become the President of the country and not Vice President.Amaechi distanced himself from any alliance aimed at making him a running mate.
