The ondo State PDP Chairman, Hon. Fatai Adams has advised members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State not to be tricked into joining any third force, insisting that third force always leads to third position in Ondo State.
Addressing party leaders and stakeholders in a meeting at the Party’s State Secretariat in Akure on Tuesday, Adams stated categorically that third force has never worked and will never work in Ondo State politics.

“The contest has always been a straight fight between two leading parties at any particular time. In 2003, it was a straight fight between Chiei Adebayo Adefarati of AD and Dr. Olusegun Agagu of PDP. In 2007, AD had become moribund and it became a straight fight between Dr. Agagu of PDP and Dr. Mimiko of Labour Party.”
“So when Chief Olusola Oke went to fly his third force in AD as its gubernatorial candidate in 2016, he saw himself coming a distant third. Again, when Dr. Mimiko even after he had finished his tenure as a governor in Ondo State, went to ZLP to contest as its senatorial candidate, he met a brick wall as he was flatly trounced coming third in the contest. So third force is a third position and that will not take you near Alagbaka govt house. You must learn from history” the chairman warned.
