Adewale though, not a card carrying member of the ADP, but was adopted by the party after he tried to clinch the governorship ticket under his party PDP, according to a report, the former Governor, Dr Peter Ayodele Fayose made it clear to other contenders during the PDP governorship primaries not to waste their time and money for the ticket because of his anointed candidate, Prof Olusola Kolapo Eleka, which accounted for the reason he had to look for the ticket elsewhere to try his aspiration.
