Top sources in the know, who confided in Mega Icon Magazine, also disclosed that the party will start flooding the state with billboards and posters to launch the new political platform.

This development is coming on the heels of the alleged unresolved crisis in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) by Governor Abiola Ajimobi, the sources informed.

Checks also revealed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may adopt the ADP as an alternative platform to further his presidential aspiration in the event of not picking the PDP ticket.

Akande, who is a prominent member of the ‘Unity Forum’ – a splinter group within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), had earlier declined joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC) because of its chief promoter, ex President Olusegun Obasanjo
