- He was accused of causing disaffection within the PDP
Segun Adewale, a prominent member and former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, announced his decision to leave the party and join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made this announcement during a news conference on Saturday in Lagos.
Last week, the PDP in Alimosho Local Government Area suspended Adewale indefinitely, accusing him of causing disaffection within the party and tarnishing its image.
Prior to his suspension, Adewale had criticized the party’s failure to win elections in the state since 1999, attributing it to corruption and disunity among its members.
Speaking at the news conference, Adewale said: “I am not contesting election in 2027 but going to the ruling party to support the president. My next move is to go to Abuja and prostrate to Tinubu,” he said.
Reacting to his suspension, Adewale said his reported suspension by PDP in Alimosho LGA was orchestrated by those fighting him for exposing how they mismanaged campaign funds during the 2023 election.
He added that his suspension had no effect, as his ward had absolute confidence in him and had distanced itself from the reported suspension.
