He left APC alongside other Unity Forum members to join the ADC.
The Chairman of Oyo APC Elders Advisory Council – Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala and Chief Akin Oke-led Oyo APC Caretaker Committee tasked the delegation to encourage the scion of Great Lam-Adesina and other Lamists across the 33 local Government area of Oyo state to rejoin the party.

Tunji Ajimobi; Hon. Abiodun Adeyemo Biddy
Hon Dapo Lam-Adesina expressed surprise that APC leadership could send such a high-powered delegation to reconcile and woo him back into the progressive family that was nurtured by the late former Governor Lam Adesina; adding that, “I have listened to you very attentively and I feel elated to receive people of your caliber – this shows that you hold Lam-Adesina political dynasty in a high esteem”.
The ex Commissioner for Youths and Sports assured the delegation that he would reach out to all the aggrieved Lamists across the state with a view to convincing them to return to the house they built together.
Some of the Lamists in attendance included Alhaji Tajudeen Olorukun who is Oyo South Senatorial Chairman of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Wahab Lanase, Chief Ogundeji, Alhaji Adeogun, Alhaja Musili Oluwanran, Com. Babatunde Onilari, Com. Gbade among others.
