Fatai Adams, a former Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo State, Fatai Adams, is dead, Peoples Gazette has learnt. 

Mr Adams died in the early hours of today, according to party sources. 

The cause of his death could not be ascertained at press time. 

The spokesman for the PDP in the state, Kennedy Peretie, could not be reached for his comment on the issues. 

Recall that Mr Adams was removed as the chairman of the opposition party early last month by the members of the State Working Committee over alleged anti-party activities. 

His suspension gave room for the emergence of Mr Tola Alabere, as the acting state chairman after ratification by the SWC of the party.
