Adelabu claimed to have clinched the ticket of the party after he lost in the primary election of APC to Senator Teslim Folarin, some weeks ago.
But while responding to the claim of Adelabu, who is parading himself as the governorship candidate of the AP, Ajadi, during a press conference, yesterday, said Adelabu’s membership of the party remains unknown to him, as there was no evidence to back up his claims.
Ajadi said: “It’s very simple. It’s all about common sense. If you are talking about Adebayo Adelabu, when you want to build a house, you cannot build a house from the roof downwards. You only build a house from the foundation upwards.
‘’We have built the foundation of Accord Party from 2010. We started together with the former Governor of Oyo State, Alhaji Rashidi Ladoja. We left the PDP in 2010 with the likes of Alhaji Yekini Adeojo.
“I have been a member of the Accord Party since 2010. I have contested the election under PDP against Adedibu’s son in 2006/2007. So, it’s not a new thing in politics. We have enough experience.
“However, when you want to join a party, there are protocols you have to go through.
“Adebayo Adelabu’s case is a blunder from him. If he wants to govern a state, he should show decorum when he wants to do things.
“He lost an election in APC primary election, three days after, he declared himself a member of Accord Party and governorship candidate. How does it work?”
“He is not a card-carrying member of Accord Party. We do not know him at the party. I have been in Accord Party for over 10 years and I have never heard his name. The ignorance of politics has shown he does not even know how to play politics.
“Accord Party is ours. I still remain the governorship candidate and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) witnessed our consensus. There was evidence of what we did as a party.
“How then can he say he is the candidate of the party. Who gave him the ticket of the party after losing to someone else in APC? We have to play politics with common sense.”
