Senator Francis Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East Senatorial District, has formally stepped down from his membership in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He cited persistent internal strife and ongoing legal disputes within the party—unresolved since the end of the 2023 general elections—as key reasons for his departure.
In a letter dated June 12, 2025, and addressed to the PDP Ward 4 Chairman in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, Fadahunsi explained that his decision came after thorough consultations with political allies, family members, and close associates.
Fadahunsi, who currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Industry, voiced his dissatisfaction with what he described as sustained instability within the party’s national structure, marked by prolonged legal challenges and a fragmented 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.
“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,” the senator wrote.
