Taofeek Ajilesoro, member representing Ife Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The lawmaker made his resignation known in 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.
Ajilesoro cited persistent internal crisis, divisions, and legal battles within the party as his reasons for dumping the opposition party.
The letter reads, “Please accept this letter as formal notification of my resignation from the People’s 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 joins Wole Oke, who represents Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, as well as Senators Francis Fadahunsi (Osun East) and Olubiyi Fadeyi (Osun Central) who had earlier announced their resignation from the PDP.
