In a move that has further rattled the already shaky foundation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, representing Osun East Senatorial District, has officially dumped the party, citing “irreconcilable differences” and ongoing “protracted legal battles.”
This defection marks the second high-profile exit from the PDP in Osun within a 90-day interval. The party had earlier lost a sitting member of the House of Representatives, intensifying concerns about deepening internal fractures and dwindling cohesion ahead of upcoming political contests.
Fadahunsi’s departure is seen by many as both a personal political recalibration and a reflection of unresolved tensions within the party’s state structure.
While the senator has not yet declared his next political alignment, speculations are already swirling about a potential move to the ruling party as 2026 elections loom closer.
The PDP’s silence on the latest defection has only fueled speculation about the party’s preparedness to withstand further political attrition in the state.
