Letter of Resignation as Ogun State Youth Leader and Former Ogun East Senatorial Chairman
Dear Sir,
I write formally to tender my resignation from my position as the Ogun State Youth Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), with effect from today, [insert date].
This decision, borne out of personal interest and conviction, comes after deep and sincere reflection. It is a step of conscience and purpose, intended to allow me to pursue new directions and aspirations within the wider political space. My decision is purely personal and not a result of any grievance or dissatisfaction with the leadership or structure of our great party.
Serving in dual capacities as both the Ogun State Youth Leader and the Former Ogun East Senatorial Chairman of the NNPP has been an honour and a defining period in my political journey. These positions afforded me a platform to demonstrate leadership, strengthen youth participation in politics, and contribute meaningfully to the growth of the NNPP in Ogun State and beyond.
I remain deeply grateful to the party leadership for entrusting me with these responsibilities, as well as for the rare privilege of representing the NNPP as its Candidate for the Ogun State House of Assembly, Ijebu Ode State Constituency, during the 2023 General Elections. That experience not only deepened my understanding of public service but also reaffirmed my commitment to progressive democratic ideals.
Through my service as Ogun East Senatorial Chairman, I was privileged to work with dedicated leaders and grassroots members who shared a common passion for building a stronger NNPP. Together, we advanced the cause of the party, built networks of influence, and promoted the vision of a New Nigeria anchored on equity, justice, and accountable leadership.
While I now step aside from my official role, I hold in high regard the NNPP, its leadership, and its unwavering pursuit of a better Nigeria. I leave with no ill will, only gratitude and respect for the opportunities, experiences, and partnerships that have shaped my political growth within the party.
I sincerely appreciate the State Executive Working Committee, Local Government Executives, Ward Leaders, and the entire membership of the NNPP for their trust, cooperation, and solidarity throughout my time of service.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to serve. I remain ever committed to the ideals of good governance, youth empowerment, and national development, and I wish the NNPP continued success in all its future endeavours.
Yours faithfully,
Hon. Funso Jide Adekunle

ABEOKUTA, Nigeria — November 11, 2025:
The Ogun State Youth Leader of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Hon. Funso Jide Adekunle, has formally resigned from his position, citing “personal conviction and reflection” as reasons for his decision to step aside from active leadership within the party.
In his resignation letter dated Tuesday, November 11, 2025, and addressed to the NNPP State Chairman, Adekunle (A.k.A Honourable Fushi) announced that his decision was reached “after deep and sincere reflection,” describing it as “a step of conscience and purpose” aimed at pursuing new political directions.
“This decision, borne out of personal interest and conviction, comes after deep and sincere reflection. It is a step of conscience and purpose, intended to allow me to pursue new directions and aspirations within the wider political space,” he stated.
Adekunle, who also previously served as Ogun East Senatorial Chairman of the NNPP, emphasised that his resignation was not connected to any form of disagreement or dissatisfaction with the party’s leadership, describing his experience as “an honour and a defining period” in his political journey.
“My decision is purely personal and not a result of any grievance or dissatisfaction with the leadership or structure of our great party. Serving in dual capacities as both the Ogun State Youth Leader and the Former Ogun East Senatorial Chairman of the NNPP has been an honour and a defining period in my political journey,” he said.
The youthful politician, who represented the NNPP as its candidate for the Ogun State House of Assembly, Ijebu Ode Constituency, during the 2023 general elections, expressed deep gratitude to the party for what he termed “a rare privilege to serve and learn.”
“That experience not only deepened my understanding of public service but also reaffirmed my commitment to progressive democratic ideals,” Adekunle added.
He recalled his tenure as Ogun East Senatorial Chairman, noting that the role provided him the opportunity to mobilise youths and grassroots supporters for the NNPP’s vision of a new Nigeria built on equity, justice, and accountable leadership.
“Through my service as Ogun East Senatorial Chairman, I was privileged to work with dedicated leaders and grassroots members who shared a common passion for building a stronger NNPP. Together, we advanced the cause of the party and promoted the vision of a New Nigeria,” he reflected.
While stepping aside from his role, Adekunle maintained that he still holds the NNPP in high regard and wishes the party continued success in its democratic pursuits.
“I leave with no ill will, only gratitude and respect for the opportunities, experiences, and partnerships that have shaped my political growth within the party. I sincerely appreciate the State Executive Working Committee, Local Government Executives, Ward Leaders, and the entire membership of the NNPP for their trust, cooperation, and solidarity throughout my time of service,” he affirmed.
Although Adekunle did not disclose his next political move, sources close to the NNPP youth wing in Ogun State suggested that his resignation might mark the beginning of a new political alignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Party insiders hinted that Adekunle’s calm and consultative style of leadership made him one of the respected figures among the NNPP’s youth base in the state, particularly during the buildup to the 2023 elections.

“Hon. Funso Jide Adekunle is one of the finest young politicians the NNPP has produced in Ogun State. His leadership inspired many young people to participate in politics,” the official said.
Political observers believe that Adekunle’s next steps could be significant in shaping the dynamics of youth politics in Ogun State, particularly as realignments across party lines intensify in the lead-up to 2027.
