The suspended chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Fatai Adams, has asserted that he still holds the position of chairman within the party.
It was gathered that the State Working Committee (SWC) of the party in the state had earlier suspended Adams, citing allegations of anti-party activities.
This suspension was endorsed by the nine SWC members who expressed concern over the infiltration of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) into the opposition party.
However, Adams firmly believes that his suspension is baseless and driven by political motives.
He claims that the suspension was orchestrated to further the alleged agenda of those involved in the Akoko North East/North West Federal Constituency Bye election in February.

He further maintained that some unscrupulous elements are out to destroy the democratic values that the party is known for.
“This will not stand; we know what they are trying to do; their plans are to remove me so that they can execute their evil agenda for the Akoko North East/North West Federal Constituency Bye-election, and we will not fall for that,” he said.

Meanwhile, former speaker of the Ondo state House of Assembly, Bakita Bello, has accused desperate politicians of failing to show enough love and respect for the late Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.
It was gathered that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain made this known in an interview with PUNCH.
Speaking on the political crisis that rocked the state some months ago between the House of Assembly members, Akeredolu and Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Bello admitted that the situation was caused by the failure to comply with the bidding of the 1999 Constitution, which demands the transmission of power to the deputy governor when necessary for the smooth running of government.

Bello frowned at how some politicians exploited the political crisis for their selfish ends and disrespected the constituted authority and the rule of law because of the 2024 governorship election.
He said, “It is common knowledge that the crisis was caused by the failure to comply with the bidding of the 1999 Constitution as Amended (2011), which demands the transmission of power by a governor to his deputy, as and when necessary, for the smooth running of government. Fortunately, the needful was done and the acting governor has now become the substantive governor.
“The worst aspect of the sad situation, however, is the role of some individuals and groups in exploiting the matters for their selfish ends.
