Ahead of the 2026 governorship election in Osun State, one of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s appointees at the Obokun Local Government Education Authority, Mercy Ayodele, has tendered her resignation from the board.
In a formal letter addressed to the Chairperson of the Education Authority in Ibokun, which was seen by OSUN DEFENDER on Wednesday afternoon, the former board member cited personal reasons for stepping down from her role.
“I appreciate the opportunity to have served, and I am grateful for the experience gained,” Ayodele wrote, while expressing her gratitude to the board and by extension, the state government under Governor Adeleke.
Ayodele further noted that it was time for her to “step down” owing to undisclosed personal reasons.
While reacting to the resignation of Ayodele, the member representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Oluwole Oke, who recently left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for All Progressives Congress, APC, interpreted the resignation as part of a broader movement of discontent within the ruling PDP in the state.

OBOKUN ORIADE IS FOR PBAT OBOKUN – ORIADE IS FOR APC OBOKUN -ORIADE IS FOR US. IFE IJESA ZONE IS UNDERGOING PANEL BEATING . IT’S TURNING GOLD,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
