The Lawmaker revealed this with News Channel over the weekend.
Adekoya, a founding member of the PDP since 1998, made the clarification at his country home in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, stating emphatically that he has “absolutely no intention” of leaving the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Despite a wave of defections sweeping through the political landscape, the grassroots politician — popularly known as Attacker — said he remains loyal to the PDP and has never considered crossing over to the APC.
“Crossing to APC has never crossed my mind,” he said. “I’m not financially desperate, and I do not need political cover, which is often the real reason many defect. Most people who switch parties do so because they have skeletons in their closets.”
He described recent defection trends as motivated by personal interest, financial desperation, and the search for political protection rather than genuine commitment to public service.
Adekoya referenced political developments in Akwa Ibom to support his point, noting that even a sitting governor could not successfully move the PDP structure into the APC.
“When a governor defects and his own commissioners and House of Assembly members refuse to follow him, that speaks volumes,” he said.
Reflecting on his political journey,the former deputy minority whip expressed readiness to return to the House of Representatives to complete abandoned constituency projects, saying the Senate does not appeal to him.
“I want to finish what I started — hospitals, stadiums, town halls, palaces, and other developments in Ogun Waterside and other parts of my Federal Constituency. Many federal projects were abandoned, looted, or sold off.”
Looking ahead to 2027, he said Nigerians are “tired, hungry, and disillusioned,” predicting that upcoming elections will be driven by individual integrity rather than party platforms.
Reaffirming his loyalty to his constituents and his party, Adekoya said public service remains his motivation.
“You can be close to government without selling your soul. I have maintained my independence and I will continue to stand for what is right.”
“Let it be known, I am not joining APC, and I will never allow personal gain to override public service.”
