The defection tsunami rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is yet to abate as Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi representing Osun East Senatorial District in the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, has officially withdrawn his membership from the PDP.
Fadahunsi cited persistent and irreconcilable internal crisis at the national level.
His resignation was formally communicated in a letter personally signed and dated June 12, 2025, which was submitted to the PDP Ward 4 Chairman in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State.
The Senator attributed his decision to a culmination of unresolved legal disputes and ideological differences that have engulfed the PDP following the 2023 general elections.
He further emphasized that the turbulence within the party has reached an unmanageable point, making it impossible to continue his association.
In the resignation letter, Senator Fadahunsi explained that the move was not impulsive but a conclusion reached after wide consultations with his political allies, family members, and close associates.
He requested that the party accept his departure in good faith and expressed appreciation for their understanding.
It was gathered that Fadahunsi’s exit had been anticipated for some time; that the Senator had grown increasingly disillusioned with the party and had resisted significant internal pressures aimed at dissuading him from leaving.
Fadahunsi’s resignation has intensified speculations about a potential political realignment in Osun State.
Party loyalists and constituents are already debating what this departure might mean for the PDP’s strength and cohesion ahead of future elections.
