Ogunlewe had opposed the appointment of the present state chairman, Dr. Adegbola Dominic, after the resignation of the former chairman, Mashood Salvador.

He also, during the electioneering of the party for the just concluded 2019 elections, criticised the management of the campaign council of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the governorship running mate to Mr. Jimi Agbaje.

His son, Moyosore, who was the PDP House of Assembly candidate for Kosofe I Constituency, recently resigned his membership of the PDP and joined the ruling APC.

When contacted, Ogunlewe, however debunked the report of his defection, saying it was not true.

But, he warned that the party was bedeviled with many crises which if not urgently resolved could spark exodus of people from the party.

He also challenged the legitimacy of the present state executive led by Dr. Dominic.

Meanwhile, the Lagos chapter of the PDP on Friday, May 3, declared that Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, does not have electoral value.
