Senator Francis Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing deep-seated internal crises and unresolved legal disputes plaguing the party since the 2023 general elections.
In a letter dated June 12, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Ward 4 Chairman in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Fadahunsi announced his resignation, attributing it to irreconcilable differences within the party’s national leadership.
“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 bedevilled the party at the national level after the 2023 general elections,” he stated.
Fadahunsi, who chairs the Senate Committee on Industry, said the decision came after wide consultations with his political associates, family members, and trusted allies. He expressed frustration over the persistent instability within the PDP, describing it as a major impediment to effective political engagement.
His exit marks another blow to the opposition party, which has continued to grapple with internal divisions, court cases, and a fractured national leadership since the last general elections.
It remains unclear whether the senator plans to join another political party, but his departure adds to growing concerns over the PDP’s cohesion ahead of future elections.
