The governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), in the June 2018 gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, Otunba Segun Adewale has led thousands of his supporters back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adewale who addressed a huge crowd of supporters at Ipoti, in Ijero Local Government on Sunday, told them that, it is time to return back home, “we must ensure that we deliver a resounding victory for the incoming President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and at this point, we must all come together to rescue Nigeria from perverted poverty ravaging the country.

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.
