PDP Yet to Receive Adeleke’s Resignation Letter – Turaki

Kabiru Turaki, chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the party has not received any official resignation letter from Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, despite widespread media reports. Speaking after the National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja, Turaki acknowledged Adeleke’s right to leave the party but stressed that no formal communication has been submitted. He noted that Adeleke’s name remains on the list of aspirants for the Osun governorship primary until confirmed otherwise by party officials.

Turaki emphasized that the party’s strength lies in its supporters, not defections by elected officials, and expressed confidence in the PDP’s resilience ahead of future elections. He confirmed that the NWC has approved the congresses for electing ad hoc delegates in Osun and reviewed preparedness for the upcoming local government elections in Anambra.

Addressing national issues, Turaki urged the federal government to overhaul the country’s security architecture, noting the impracticality of calling governors “chief security officers” without granting them control over security operations. He also mentioned that former PDP governors nominated for ambassadorial roles by President Tinubu have not formally notified the party.
