A member of the House of Representatives representing Ife Federal Constituency in Osun State, Taofeek Ajilesoro, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ajilesoro announced his resignation via a letter dated July 22, 2025, and addressed to the PDP chairman of Ilare Ward II in Ife Central Local Government Area of Osun State.
The lawmaker, in a letter obtained on Wednesday, hinged his decision on persistent internal crises in the party.
He noted that divisions and legal battles in the PDP influenced his decision to resigned from the party.
Ajilesoro stated: “Please accept this letter as formal notification of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, effective immediately.

“This decision, though difficult, has become necessary due to the persistent internal conflicts, deep-seated divisions, and the pervasive culture of legal disputes that have unfortunately come to characterise the party.
“These factors have made it increasingly challenging for me to reconcile my continued membership with my personal convictions and aspirations for effective governance. I extend my gratitude for the opportunity to have served within the party. I trust you will accept my resignation in the spirit in which it is given.”
Ajilesoro is the latest PDP lawmaker from Osun State to leave the party.
A member representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Wole Oke, and Senators Francis Fadahunsi (Osun East) and Olubiyi Fadeyi (Osun Central), had also resigned from the PDP.
The party won all three senatorial seats, all nine House of Representatives seats, and 25 out of 26 seats in the Osun State House of Assembly in the 2023 general election.
