“His transition at this trying time of the party is not only sad but traumatic. The State Working Committee (SWC) of the party has declared a three-day mourning period. Party flags are to fly at half mast and all party secretariats shut for the period across the state.

“Our party commiserates with his family and the Ondo State PDP at large. May Almighty Allah grant him Al Jannah Firdaus.”

The State Working Committee of the PDP in Ondo State suspended Adams in January 2024 over alleged anti-party activities.

Adams was elected as Ondo PDP chairman in August 2020.

Before then, he served as deputy chairman of the party in the state.
